"This song is pure genious. Just listen to the lyrics: When David sings "Dishes in the sink, The TV's in repair," I swear I'm going to wet myself. Listening to this song is like looking into the face of God himself and hearing him say, "I'm aching, I'm breaking, I'm shaking like humans do."Pure genious."
Sigh... what can I say...

"Normally I dont listen by artists, most of my favs are obscure singles by unknowns, sometimes they come from the more mainstream guys. So while I cant say I love his KIND of music or whatever, I will say this- this song has affected me like no other.
Unbelievable. That a simple song can make all this happen inside me. The first time I heard it it gave me goose bumps, reminded of -dont ask me why- White Rabbit- Grace Slick all that. It made me want to get up and close my eyes and dance... which I promptly did... and then something strange happened, after listening to it the third or fourth straight time, I started to cry- sobbing really really hard. Freaked me out. turned off the song.
Now it happened again, never mind that it is 1.15 am and my husband is inside asleep and I was getting ready to go to sleep and I started to listen to it. I started to get up and dance like a mad woman all by myself- not quite figuring out what to move to the overwhelming rhythm, and them bam! tears AGAIN. I dont get it. I've been crying for the past 5 mts or so... the tears go away when the song stops...weird or what ? Needless to say I LOVE this song, I love the voice that sings the song, the imaginary person with the sensitivity who wrote that song, never mind what he is in real-life....My heart is still pounding and I still have some sobs coming, the lump in my throat is still there, but strangely I dont feel alone...
Call me nuts, but as long as i have this song, I will be alright. No I am not smokin anything."
