The set by Magnetic Fields. I've had such an awful week and these songs helped me cry like a little bitch, which always helps.
You know when you sort of love somebody, but figure you'll both just always be single, so you never bother persuing it? Then you find out the person is now in a relationship and not only is it "shit! i missed my chance" but it also kind of sucks because I feel like I'm single by myself. And I'm also wondering how I was content with just a casual relationship with such a great guy.
The only consolation is that maybe I never would have had a chance anyway, but goddamn, I wish I would have at least given it a shot.
Then another guy I broke it off with is sort of seeing somebody else. At least he said he would rather be with me, but he kept sending messages to the guy about meeting up later. Just left me with a sick feeling. Not that I'm in any position to complain and the troopers of my better nature are glad he's moving on. But I guess part of me just wishes all my exes would stay single and celibate until I've gained enough distance. I didn't interfere or anything and was a total adult about it. It just hit me a lot harder than I thought it would, but I'll keep that to myself.
That was Saturday night. Sunday I just decided I wasn't even going to attempt getting out of bed and listened to Massive Attack and Magnetic Fields all day.
Oh God, that song "The Book of Love" just totally breaks me heart. The "I love it when you read to me/You can read me anything" especially, because I had another ex who told me an ex of his used to read him Oscar Wilde stories in bed and I was insanely jealous. I want a boyfriend to read to.
After lying in bed all day, at around 1 in the morning I decided to get up and make my bed before trying to sleep again and broke down and cried my eyes out. I'm a good multi-tasker though, so I could do both.
I've only really listened to the first disc of 69 Love Songs, and even that isn't good straight through, but I'll recommend it anyway.
The other song I like is "I Don't Want to Get Over You"
The guys lyrics are good because he finds interesting ways of saying things that almost anybody who listens is going to relate to. And he sounds like a real miserable bastard, which grants him credibility with a perpetually lovesick boy like me.
