About Today

Bleak. This song is bleak. This dude's situation is over and he knows it.

It's late. I'm up and preparing to leave for Minnesota in a handful of hours. I'm tired and ready for bed. This song has been in my ears about 10 times in the past two hours and I love the desperateness of it. Here is this guy awake in bed trying to talk to his lady. And I feel for the guy. Seriously. But, don't you also think - "Dude, wake her up and save it!". I'm torn like that. I love this stuff in a song, but in reality you need to make things happen a little more. No?

Ahh. I should lighten up. I now get to go crawl into bed with my lady and handsome little man. I guess I can't really feel this guy's pains anymore (if that sounds all cocky, I'm sorry, unintended). Gorgeous song though. Enjoy.
