quick thing.
no rational reason why this song should make me think of really sad things, but it does, and GODDAMN, crying sad, like when the hero dies in gladiator and butch and sundance-yes not real but its hard to tell sometimes. im SURE this has happened to someone else. i definately am sure of that
it reminds me of someone crying you know? like the guitar or someone is. you know like someone is always praying, and someone is crying.
i didnt know where else to go. so dear mog when im older, make sure i dont forget about this i might just put it on every mix cd i make...just so i dont.
you know when you only have one really lovely cupcake left which you dont eat it, you keep it for an age, and then eventually throw it away 'cause of mould and the usual shit that happens to stuff
feel good having deleted myspace i dont have to think about that side of the world every time i switch on the computer.
so i haven't really lost anything. i havnt been contributing to the general mog, so next post, i promise.
someone must have songs like this? you lean into the computer, and its all very strange

I'm with Brittany and rejoice in having you back on active duty... Bon Iver's song is the kind which makes me vibrate and gently sob without really crying.
This song belongs that sweet-sour sort which reverberates in myself: Another favourite of mine is Bonnie "Prince" Billy:My Trusted MOGs

I couldn't agree more. There is something infinitely enjoyable in listening to songs about the depths of the soul that beats any happy-sing-along-trimmed-for-radio tune out there. Most of the songs in my library would be considered dark but I find them most exhilarating.

congratulations on deleting myspace. next step, facebook? yesterday i re-activated mine though so i shouldn't say anything. i downloaded bon iver's album a few weeks ago, and i agree- it's hard to listen to something recorded by someone while they were alone in a cabin in the woods without feeling sad. the woods tend to make me sad. so deep and dark haha

Your sadness makes me happy, not in a "Yay! That's great, I'm laughing at the sad person" kind of happy, but the "when I listen to Wolves (Act I and II) I want to cry too" kind of happy. "War compatriot" happy. So thanks for being sad with me; I'm with you.
