Did you come here to be depressed today? If so, you're in luck! Check this song out. (As usual, ther's a YouTube clip at the bottom if you want to listen as you read along.)
Frightened Rabbit - My Backwards Walk
I'm working on my backwards walk
Walking with no shoes or socks
And the time rewinds to the end of May
I wish we'd never met then met today
I'm working on my faults and cracks
Filling in the blanks and gaps
And when I write them out they don't make sense
I need you to pencil in the rest
I'm working on drawing a straight line
And I'll draw until I get one right
It's bold and dark girl can't you see
I've done drawn a line between you and me
I'm working on erasing you
I just don't have the proper tools
I get hammered forget that you exist
There's no way I'm forgetting this
I'm working hard on walking out
Shoes keep sticking to the ground
My clothes won't let me close the door
These trousers seem to love your floor
I've been working on my backwards walk
There's nowhere else for me to go
Except back to you just one last time
Say yes before I change my mind
Say yes before I
You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it girl
You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it girl
You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it girl
You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it girl
Well? Did it do the trick? It seems to have worked for me.

The horrible guitar work and off-key whiny singing was pretty depressing, yeah.
Thats my fave FR song...such a good downer.
Sundays are depressing enough & then you lay this one on us? Ha. But yes, this is definitely not a feel good tune.
Do you need to borrow some tampons?
Thank you?
well, wasn't that special! (p.s. sorry you're feeling down!)
I love me some FR.
MINNOW -- as far as I can figure out life is a bitch and then I am pretty sure you die.... and when I say you I mean ALL OF US. Still I think its not very fair but its still good.
This is a hard post to leave a comment about. Sorry your're blue. You need a trip to the lake. with good friends and good beer.
