I never realised before what this song was about but now it's developed a different light and I can only think about how powerful and upsetting it is, and how much crazy pain Nicky and the others must have been going through then.
I know Richey must have been pretty distressed himself to disappear/ commit suicide like he did, but I think, along with most other escapists and suicid-ees, that he must have been a bit thoughtless not to realise what an effect he would have on those he left behind, how he might screw up their lives as well as his own.
It makes me sick that they use this in travel advertisements.
@manic4manics the whole 'whatever hapened to' Richey thing is neither here nor there for anyone other than his immediate family - as for the repercussive effects of suicide, I'm no 'suicide advocate', but I do believe it's not 'done-on-a-whim' and that it is thoroughly contemplated by the person before they decide to STOP existing, i.e: it's not a light nor flippant decision

@manic4manics
Speaking as a fellow (failed) suicidee, of course you're thinking of those you're leaving behind, because you're making their life better by leaving. And he did it on a bridge.
I get upset by those who blame the ones who succumb or fall in their own baths or beds.
Yes, probably not great for those that discover them, but if they could still instill those thoughts they wouldn't be there
