just be simple.
who knew this band was actually called songs ohia?? i listened to them for a good 2 years thinking it was songs ohio. fool.
anyways. this song helped me more in the last month than any song ever has. for candice it was "sell my old clothes im off to heaven", for maile it was "hands down" and now for angela it is "just be simple"
there's a line midway through the song, "thanks for letting me win." the first time i heard that line my stomach sunk and i just felt so sad. i've been thinking about ti for weeks now, and i can't figure out why i was so affected by it. but still, every time i hear it it makes me feel a certain way.
and another line.. "why put a new address, on the same old loneliness" more or less SCREAMED at me over the last few weeks. after the dissolution of me and angela, I was seriously considering packing up and moving to los angeles. i had convinced myself that new york was the reason for my unhappiness and that LA would be better because it was more like las vegas. but this line really just made me realize that anywhere was what you made of it, so it was because of this line that i decided to stay here and to make an effort of making friends.
so, simply put, if it werent for that one line, there would be no pretty pictures of me and my new new york friends, because i would still be the lonely guy, stewing in brooklyn.
i hope you can find something in this song that speaks to you.
