A Fully-Down album? Every song is 'blue' as in, not happy? I wonder why you say 'this song follows another' - because in my version, this is the first song, the track is 15.05 minutes, and at 12.13 a live version of 'My Beloved Monster' starts (why so late?) ... very humoristic by the way, he suddenly changes to the melody of the song to another: " I've got sunshine.. ladiedada (..) My (Girl) .. -> beloved monster" ... (while everyone knows he should sing girl). I like the song :)

like "Flower", overcoming the sinking depression that surrounds the narrator. at least, trying to overcome it...

This is actually a song that follows another from their first album. I think E meant this to be written from his mother's point of view and how she is slowly dying.

Very nice song, E wrote it when he was down. By the way: the album "beautiful freak" is a "fully-down" album, that's why it's so excellent!

The fact that it is from his mother's point of view makes sence : "Got my foot on the ladder" looks like she is realizing that she's about to die... 1

This song has always meant so much to me....when I listen to it and imagine E in hospital where, apparently he wrote it.
