RSSIMHRN, July 11

Sometimes, things hit you harder than you anticipate, don’t they? When I listened to the 30-second iTunes preview of this song, I immediately loved it and purchased it right away. But the first time I listened to the whole thing (I remember it was on the train, coming home from work) was also the last. It’s just too sad. Don’t get me wrong -- I totally appreciate melancholia in pop songs, but this one takes it all the way to painful, so I just prefer not to listen to it. Unfortunately, I caught a little of it while flipping stations this morning, and it’s now been stuck in my head for hours. I think I’m going have to blast it out of there with some Gnarls Barkley or The Shins or something.
