| A friend of mine is shooting a movie titled "Haunting Me" and the intro plays this song as I write the lyrics on a piece of paper. Editing nightmare for him but cool idea. In the movie I play Jesse, and his/my ex girlfriend have a chance meeting in an aisle of Fred Meyers and end up walking out hand in hand (way simplified). He wrote it well and it's not cheesy, we will see how it works out. | |

| "everything about me is a lie at least, it feels that way when I look in your eyes now," ... i love the weird life support-esque synth in the beginning and throughout the song. heh. metaphor there? hmm. this has been one of my favorite songs of theirs for quite awhile. everytime i listen to it i feel cold, because i had a moment of clarity once in someone's car on the way home from a movie in late december a couple of years ago...he had this album playing in the car at the time, and this song was on... dark and raining, carlights reflecting off the wet pavement... feeling alone. it kind of burned that memory into this song, so whenever i hear it, not only does it remind me of... certain things in the present, but it also brings up that whole time period. which you'd think after all of this time i would forget about, but you'd be mistaken. which is probably why this song makes my chest hurt. hooray for carrying around so many goddamned ghosts with me. sigh. | |
