I haven't cried since the middle of June, and that was in the middle of "Katy Song" as I had just ended a friendship with a girl I had known for over two years. Since then, my life has plummeted further and further, but I've been unable to cry. I don't know why, because I've had more reason to cry recently than I ever have in my life.
Finally, yesterday, I came to thinking about how worthless I felt myself to be. And I put on "Drop" and it all clicked: I don't care about myself. And straight into the second verse, I started crying. It climaxed so gorgeously by the time the second chorus and the song were both over.
This song will never be the same to me. Even if, as I suspect, I'm never happy again, this song will make me feel warm and comforted.
RHP songs are the songs that have been healing and moving me thru the most painful breakup I've ever had to go thru. It's been over a year now and "the hurting never ends" as the song goes. It is this song, and Katy Song, and Medicine Bottle that really do it for me and to me. And also some of the Sun Kil Moon songs, like Floating. Mark Kozelek knows how to express grief and loss and longing of a broken heart better than any songwriter I can think of.
