Born in 1999, Asthmatic Kitty Records was originally conceived as a platform for musical projects by a community of artists from Holland, Michigan, a small city on the shore of Lake Michigan. Some were Holland natives, and others had come to attend local colleges and universities. While the original Holland nucleus has now dispersed to various parts of the country, the fellowship is still growing, with new friends and shared projects with other independent labels. Asthmatic Kitty is now based in Lander, Wyoming, Indianapolis, Indiana and New York City.
Asthmatic Kitty was named after Sara, a voluptuous orange and white longhair who wandered out of the woods in 1995, pregnant, starving, and afflicted with various parasites and ailments, including feline asthma. Although she still wheezes a bit, especially when being chased by her sister Tabby, Sara today enjoys a healthy and happy life of luxury. Cast-off animals make the best pets!
I’ve never lost someone in my family, and even when I did lose someone, I wasn’t really close to them. Then again, I still feel a profound sadness listening to this song and reading all of your stories. I just want to say that you’re doing great. Even though there might’ve been nothing that you could’ve done, I’m proud of all of you for sharing your stories to the world.
I am 14 yo m. When i got to primary school, i was mocked a lot but i had good friends. When i got to the progressing school, i made a lot of friends. I also had a crush on a girl. I loved her for around 2 years until i told her. We r still friends but it didnt work out. A little later, i met this one girl, she had a lot of mental issues, due to bullying and abuse and she had autism. I started talking to her a lot. We became good friends and both talked about our problems but i felt bad for talking about my burdens, because she had it so much worse. We also both draw a lot and she would be brutally honest, if she doesn't like what im drawing. Also due to her social anxiety we never really talked in person but always just chatted. One day when we had another deep talk, she would show me this song and i still love it. To this day i remember the entire conversation. Well... then she tried to commit suicid. I was talking to her in the process trying to keep her from doing that. Luckily, she survived, but i still feel guilty for not calling help. I was too selfish and afraid. One day, she told me she loved me. To this day i still dont know if i actually loved her, or if i gaslit myself. Around a week later, she told me, that that was a lie. She wanted to know how i would react and was surprised when i said yes. I ended up having an argument with her, i felt betrayed. This way, i wasted an important friendship. I feel bad cause this was all my fault, i messed up. The following year, ive lost a lot of friendships, everyone that used to be nice to me changed to just mocking me all day. Now ive made friends with some people i met online, and they r really nice to me. I finally got to tell one of them about my story, but i kinda fear that i am having a bad impact on them. I fear that even though in my perspective, my life isn't that bad, they would think so and i am the same to them as she was to me, but that i actually dont feel as bad for that reason, i still fear, to talk to them about my emotions.
This song reminds me of when we are kids we imagine the future and our dreams and death but as an adult you imagine what your childhood was like in the past. As a child you imagine how much you want to be an adult and how much you think your parents are mean and sometimes strict but as as an mom or father you imagine what could happen to there kids there future and how if I die what will happen to them. Even your grandparents uncles aunts cousins siblings great grandparents, so make sure to treat your family and yourself as well as your friends well. People you love will die eventually so love and care for them. By love you all take care.
as a kid this song was my favorite, when i showed my mom my favorite song she said “that’s really upsetting, is it really ur favorite?” i didn’t understand what it meant in my kid mind. in september of 23 my dog passed away, and he was truly my only and my best friend. it’s been 10 months without him, and now everytime i hear this song i just cry. it takes pain to understand.
This is going in my sob playlist Haunting/Beautiful sings about death and grief leave me sobbing the first time I hear them. Just like this one. Maybe the theme is about suicide, maybe it's not, but every single time I hear a new one I think about something that happened in the fall of last year, where I almost lost my best friend to suicide. She's still here now, and from time to time I think about what happened and it usually leaves me either sad or anxious. This song is one of those songs, and it's definitely going in my cry music playlist.
The evil it spread like a fever ahead It was night when you died, my firefly What could I have said to raise you from the dead? Oh could I be the sky on the fourth of July? “Well you do enough talk My little hawk, why do you cry? Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn? Or the Fourth of July? We’re all gonna die.” Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head Was it all a disguise, like Junior High Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction Now where am I? My fading supply “Did you get enough love, my little dove Why do you cry? And I’m sorry I left, but it was for the best Though it never felt right My little Versailles.” The hospital asked should the body be cast Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth Do you find it all right, my dragonfly? “Shall we look at the moon, my little loon Why do you cry? Make the most of your life, while it is rife While it is light Well you do enough talk My little hawk, why do you cry? Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn? Or the Fourth of July? We’re all gonna die.”
many say that it gets better. but i cannot remember a time when i wasnt depressed. it started when i was six and would lie in bed at night hoping to pass in my sleep. im 24 now. though once in a while i can forget it for a short time, it always comes back. and nothing i have done has ever made it go away. i have traveled, i have stayed in one place. i have been successful, i have taken it slow. i have gotten professional help, i have tried to solve it myself. but nothing dispells the pain. when will this end? how will it end? it feels fated. it feels like my sole purpose in life is to suffer this invisible, this chronic existential pain and to be consumed by it. always, there is a shred of hope in my irrational soul that it will miraculously improve. but in my practical mind, i have lost hope. and i dont know if i can find it again. i desparatly wish to find peace in this life. but it feels overwhelmingly like it was not meant for me. all the best for everyone else, though. i wish you nothing but peace and i hope you can find it in this life. i hope i can do the same.
im so sorry </3 i knew she probably meant so much to you. i relate, lost a friend from suicide. loosing someone you love and have faith in is hard. it hurts, its pain, you live in misery for so long. 💔 i wish the best for you ml
thank you a lot. it's actually my big sis that i lost, i hope she rests in peace. and yeah that really hits hard, so hard. she was more than a sister for me, maybe even a mother 🤷🏻♀️@@heartpwrls
"why do you cry" really punches me in the chest every time. i've not lost a loved one to death but a close friend i will never see again. she was so kind to me when everyone laughed at me for crying. before i even thought of her as a friend, she was there for me. now that she's gone, i can't stop crying. i didn't return the love she gave me. i never deserved her and she deserved better than me so why don't i feel like i thanked her enough even though i gave her a huge thank you in her birthday card. i miss her so much. i love you libba.
