Sudden De-railment:

You know how I think Sam Beam is like if Love were to take human form and make an album about it? Does it then follow that, say, if there was someone who I felt I'd never be able to love, giving them a 10 minute long Iron & Wine song would serve as a surrogate form of emotion towards them? 'Cause I care, I really do, but maybe not as much as I should, and I had this moment where I thought that if I made him a mix cd with that song and some others on it then he could feel something good in regards to me, instead of some sort of negative unrequited affection. It's like the emotion that I can't feel, in a form where he can experience it as much as he wants, pressing play again and again to get his fix of it just like everyone else does.
