This one still stops me in my tracks. I had this song for a long time but never listened to it much, one night when it was starting to hit how the relationship I was in was destroying me this song came up on my mp3 player as I rode my bike back to our apartment. It eerily fit my entire life and feeling at that time, even down to the line about a second floor apartment. I’ve listened to it literally hundreds of times since.
Voxtrot – Ghost “And now I know I never knew about you, only me, we carry this inside like some disease we couldn’t beat.” “I have no choice but to be vicious on my feet, I never sleep, I never eat, I am learning how to be lost completely. I want to be found, we crave the things we push away, these patterns cut like everyday, I need you to reach, I need you to need me.” “I don’t ever wanna be alone like this, haunted by the presence of the things I miss. No I am becoming the ghost of myself”
These ones were from a rough year.
Rancid – Old Friend “Good mornin’ heartache, you’re like an old friend, come and see me again”
The Frames – What happens when the heart just stops (Just this version of this song, intro story and all.)
There’s countless others. I always say music is where I keep my memories.
