| What an intense, erotic song. I used to be very much into type o negative back when I was 15 and smoking ciggarettes like a chimney. I remember putting this song on every night before bed, sitting at my window, and lighting a ciggarette. I remember I used to finish the ciggarette exactly when the song finished. Perfect timing, everytime. I used to sit at my window, smoke, and reminice about my first love the year before. Gosh they were fucked up times. "Am I Good Enough For You?" Explained my life perfectly at that time. Beautiful song. | |

| Does anyone else think of "head over heels" by Tears For Fears when they hear this song? No? just me then... I thought this was a dark song when i saw the name of it, but its very suprising. Its loving, and gentle, and i wanna hear it when im with this girl, then it will trully be the greatest song in the world. | |

| This song is by far my Favorite Type O song. October Rust was the first album I bought and they grew on me. I played this song as one of my first dances at my wedding. It is beautiful and well written. If you ever get a chance you sould look up Blood Sweat and Tears a Tribute to Type O Negative, on that album a female group called Moonlight do a cover for this song. It has female vocals but holds the true beauty of the song. | |

| The best song ever to make love to some one you truly are deep in love with not just a fuck. Some candles and maybe some oil and the whole October Rust CD you are looking at a great night. Especially if it s the first time. | |

| This song truly expresses the way I felt after my divorce when my wife and me started having sex again. I wanted so much for her to be mine again so much that I didn't see that she was just using me to get herself off before she met her next victim, er boyfriend. Very descriptive of one-sided relationships. | |

| I don't know, but something about this song makes me think it's Pete's pipe dream romance. Subtleties like "Let me love you, too." make me think he's begging for this girl who's just leading him on. | |
