As I told you (a few times), I love this song. A lot. Part of the love comes from how excited I was to see a post from you, I think -- as I slowly realize how seriously inextricable context and song are (it makes me think of a year ago, the early days of this comm: when you posted Temporary Resident while I was in Budapest. Thinking back now, that song makes me ache for that city, that time (who'd've thought!!), but it also just made me realize how important it was to me to be connected to you, musically/friendship-ly, at such a chaotic time in my life. There's some Thursday honesty for you, haha). But, separate from that, I love this song, and I've been listening to it regularly since you posted.
Last night I was in Rigaud lying on my bedroom floor listening gratefully (LET US NEVER SEPARATE AGAIN!) to my iPod, because like apparently that is something I do, and this song came on, and I just couldn't move. All choked up: it is one of the most heartwrenching songs I've ever heard. The fucking part at 1:55, when the percussion starts in and the music almost sinks, it guts me (it is also dependent on the Sennheisers, by the way, because I'm listening to it right now on a spare pair of iPod headphones in my classroom, and you can't hear all the layers, at all, at all.). My stomach felt like it was being pulled into my spine. There is something perfect about this song.
I also love your description of "give out" -- the house of cards. Terrible, but kind of beautiful at the same time...I have been thinking about it a lot since reading it.
