i'm trying my best not to post songs that i did last year, but today i feel this song is the most appropriate one to share. since i first heard it many years ago, i've thought of it as a song that so well captures the feeling of being out of place during the holiday season, and as a result, just wanting to escape and "quit this crazy scene."
last night i was sitting in bed and noticed that i was back in this state of feeling almost devoid of emotion. it was an emptiness that strangely enough didn't yearn to be filled. it just was (and continues into today). it's a place that seems out of synch with the mood of the current season (at least the expectations thereof), and hence this song.
since last year i posted a cover of this song, i thought it only right to go to the original.
