"Hello, I'm a monster too."
Friday, January 20, 2012 at 1:02PM I've spent the past several weeks obsessed with Downton Abbey. I close my eyes at night and hear Bates talking. I wake in the morning and Anna speaks. I imagine myself in Mary's dresses and struggle to recall a character I've ever loathed quite as much as Edith. Or Thomas. Or O'Brien.
I'm captivated by the lot of it -- the writing, the acting, the cinematography. I can't recall a television show I've loved as fiercely, though surely there is one.
The same is true of this song. When you spend years burying sadness and anger, fear and other unsavory emotions, it can be hard to find your feelings. For whatever reason, this piece calls to a deep place long overlooked, frees up tears and desire, love and pain. I can't recall another song that's touched me so completely. Though surely there is one.

So, I listened to the first, and kept thinking how he reminded me of Nick Drake... then I went to listen to the second song you suggested. You and I on the same page. Again. Always.
