I can't stop you

impyOne more to go. Don't get too excited, k? I thought it was time to rip what's left of your heart out and stomp on it. Repeatedly.
If you start the song but feel it's not for you, do me a favor and wait it out. At the end the song goes from sadly paranoid to heart-wrenching.
If Closer got my attention, it was Now I'm All Messed Up (particularly the end) that cemented my absolute need to buy the whole damn album. About 3:21 or so, the song swerves into heartbreak city and never comes back out and you might find yourself weeping on the inside, just a little.
I'm a sucker for a sad song, I'm an even bigger sucker for a song that'll break your heart and is about heartbreak to boot (some sad songs aren't, you know?) so this is pretty much catnip to me. Like I said, I adore sad songs.They say so much.
why do you take me down this road if you don't want to walk with me?
now I'm sick inside wondering who,
whose life you're making worthwhile?
why do I take this lonely road, nobody here to walk with me?
don't want to start fresh all over again
go (please stay) go (please stay) go if you want, I can't stop you (you'll go if you want to)
You're screaming at someone to go but it's very obvious that you want them to stay.
And I was in a movie, how would I act? If there was rain involved...
In other news, yesterday was just a weird day for humanity. I don't understand how people can be so awful to one another or think so little of human life that they're willing to snuff it out so purposefully.
On the flipside, you have people who more than rise to the occasion and instantly restore your faith in humanity. I think this might actually, legitimately be the fastest turnaround my heart has done in a case like this.
For those keeping score at home, Widget came home yesterday evening and he was all abuzz about the bombings (that's such a weird phrase to ever have to utter and it breaks my heart that in some areas it's a common phrase) and I kind of marvelled in this completely freaked out way. This is a kid who still cannot watch Ghostbusters because he's afraid of Stay Puft, but this, this he's okay with? Then I remembered that there's a moment when you get your first seriously big news story that you find out about on your own and it's this weird mix of "there's an entire world out there!" where the terror is balanced by the awesomeness of that realization, no matter how horrible the event that might've prompted this realization.
Plus he got to know more than Mums who'd been away from any news outlets. So, there's that.
Proof that you should all be grateful I am not a foster mama to kittens: Cass is and she's got one girl kitty and three boys. The boys piled up on her to sleep and dude, I'd have named her Wendy and they'd be the Lost Boys because they need a mother. (Wasn't sure I'd need to explain that but um, just in case my mind works in mysterious ways.) Then she gets a fifth and I'll be damned if it's not taking all my control to not call him Johnny 5. Number 5!
What, it's just me?
