I've had this Ohrwurm stuck in my crawl for a little while now.
Probably because it accurately captures how I'm feeling about
life right now. There's a Meg Myers
song
where she pulls in an audio clip of Townes van Zandt saying,
about his songs,
"Well, you know, I don’t think they’re all that sad. I have
a few that aren’t sad, they’re like hopeless. Totally
hopeless situation. And the rest aren’t sad, they’re just
the way it goes kinda. I mean you know -- you don’t think life’s
sad? You know? But from like recognizing sadness you can put it aside and
be happy and enjoy the happy side of life."
That's life isn't it? It's a wonder that any truly rational
person makes it through it at all.
