It's been 4 years since she left, 3 since I learned it was for one of the perhaps 4 people I considered a friend. The youngest son changed from a career path similar to his father's to one, while worthwhile, follows the footsteps of his mother. Last night the oldest son started his move to the other side of the country in search of...something calling him onward, and with it the last shred of the vision I had for the last 20 years of what the future would look like is gone. And now this song, which I've always enjoyed, comes on and just cuts me all the way down. Dammit....if I'd have only tried just a bit harder...
"Move forward now, there's nothing to do" has proven easy to say but stubbornly difficult to put in practice.
I'm not quite sure what I think about this song and artist, though he has an amazing amount of talent for only being born on April 8th... not even 6 months old yet.
Did I just witness the 1st play of a song here on RP? Neat.
Didn't realize it was The National until something in the lyrics made me click to see who it was and what was said. Though, alas, the lyrics are not posted yet.
I really do not like his voice at all. But...man....those lyrics hit hard and close. Maybe it is just a function of today specifically. Maybe I'll lower my rating some time later on. Maybe in time my bitterness will fade.
I was hoping this banger would make it to RP. Though, until today I always heard the line "I know the skill of doing loops in the fire" as "out of the skillet, doing loops in the fire" Which I kinda like better.
I know that they are not there in this digital version, but I still remember just where the clicks and pops were in this song on my vinyl LP and hear them here.
and, played 3 days in a row now...this is how we get burnt out on stuff.
**edit - played yet again today 8/11/23. we already heard another track by these guys earlier today, too. this heavy rotation is nuts.
Imagine listening to a radio station where a song being played once a day for 3 days is considered "heavy rotation"...

Not bad.
I hope so.
An 8
How I'd feel if my wife decided I wasn't worth it anymore.
I pray she doesn't and your statement remains conjecture... Though experience suggests it is accurate conjecture
Proving, once again, that eventually, all good songs end up on RP
...
"I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die"
Certainly been feeling this for some time. But, aside from that, this has been one of my favorite VW songs for awhile.
Nice
I like her, and I wish my speakers had a setting beyond "loud" for this song.
they must be singing about trump and his minions
Yes. Nearly all music - actually basically all forms of artistic expression throughout time - is primarily about Trump. It's uncanny.
