For me, this is the whole reason for having a blog. Moments like this. Put the Zune on shuffle...hear a great song you haven't heard in forever....share said song. The NOWNESS of the internet is truly an amazing thing if you ever take a step back and appreciate it.
So while I was waiting in vain for the Coachella lineup announcement that is apparently never coming, I left my musical fate up to the shuffle. And I heard this Joseph Arthur tune for the first time in a long time...and had to share it.

Ok, back to the gut-wrenching sadness that is makes up most of the great break up songs. This one is courtesty of Joseph Arthur and is one of the true classics of the genre. Dig the pain in these lyrics:
I'll be silent in my solitude
Can't find my smile or my gratitude
I'm afraid of what I might do
'Cause there's no me
If there's no me and you
I wish that i could open up your eyes
To feel the sun that burned in your mind
I can't deal with what you have done
Reincarnate i wonder who i might become
With the potential of a loaded gun
I could be as fresh as hard bubble gum
I don't have nothing, now I want me some
First some of you, then some of everyone
Oh darling since you've been away from me
I know how the pins feel in the bowling alley
They say love is something you feel but never see
When I see you I firmly disagree
I'm just trying to be all that I can be
Without destroying you
Or joining the army
Your ashes must be blowing everywhere
'Cause i could still feel you and you're nowhere near
And though you didn't say so i can tell that you still care
We could've had it all but then nothing is fair
I still think about washing your hair
I wish i could've washed away all of your despair
