Cover art for Killing for Love lyrics by José González

I'm gonna start out stating that my son had open heart surgery a day after he was born. We are now in a hotel outside the hospital waiting response. Anyhow very tired from being up so long we both went to sleep, 3 am my phone starts playing this song. My wife asks is it your alarm. No I don't have this song on alarm and I haven't heard this song in quite sometime. Note I'm a very spiritual person. I've seen ghosts with friends to testify that they have seen ghosts around me. For my phone you wake up pity of no where and start playing this song only makes me want to dig deep in finding the meaning. My son Benny is a stone in my heart as well as my 21 month old. I wish the song writer would explain the meaning of his words inn this song. It's now 4am and I'm wide awake curious and waiting for an explanation
