A brief discussion with Mr T reminded me of a song that means more to me now than it did at the time.
I'll leave it to Mr T to post that song,
Mine is
Björk - Hyperballad (YouTube Video)
As far as I can guess it is about putting on a brave face to be with your loved one. It brings me to tears every time. In my 20s it was just a song that I liked.
[Verse]
We live on a mountain right at the top
There's a beautiful view from the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like car parts, bottles, and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around
[Pre-Chorus]
It's become a habit
A way to start the day
[Chorus]
I go through all this before you wake up
So I can feel happier to be safe up here with you
I go through all this before you wake up
So I can feel happier to be safe up here with you
[Verse]
It's early morning, no one is awake
I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make on their way down
I follow with my eyes till they crash
I imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
