i love this song, I love the idea of being so lonely and wishing you were the moon. Because the moon is the loneliest thing in the world, but it's good at being alone. So you don't necessarily want the loneliness to go away. You just want to be better at it. You wish you were better on your own, and i feel that.
Last October i whiteness my first really bad depression crisis. At that moment I could not think in anything else, but somehow, I remember this song, that was one o the worst moments in my life, feeling the exact same way that she describe on those lyrics made me fall into some deep shit that I could never think I’ll be able to comeback. Happily, I look for help, my psychiatrist listen to everything that I was going through and now, 6 months after all this, i stoped the treatment. The last two days been really hard, to convince myself that I’m able to be happy without pills, the pain, the headache, the lack of my medication made me remember this song, I just fall in tears. I can say that I understand what and why I had those feelings, and now I can fight then with more strength than ever. I’m gonna be happy, for me and for the ones that I love so much, and for what’s coming.
One of the great songs and performances from a really great album, Blacklisted. I think I bought that in 2003 and listened to virtually nothing else for months. What a singer she is.
