Simple together...
Just coding away to some music when Alanis Morissette's Simple Together from her greatest hits collection came up.
An immensely beautiful, beautiful song! Some very bare-naked writing in there with a tune that just echoes with heart-ache throughout.
I know, I know... its a grotesquely passionate tune just drowning with regret on a future that could've been.
But, no matter how lyrically bitter it may be, complete with the overwhelming sadness within... it's one of those very rare tracks that's just. Perfect.

Alanis Morissette's Simple Together
An immensely beautiful, beautiful song! Some very bare-naked writing in there with a tune that just echoes with heart-ache throughout.
You've been my golden best friend
Now with post-demise at hand
Can't go to you for consolation
Cause we're off limits during this transition
This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And i can't stop bumping into things
I thought we'd be simple together
I thought we'd be happy together
Thought we'd be limitless together
I thought we'd be precious together
But i was sadly mistaken
You've been my soulmate and mentor
I remembered you the moment i met you
With you i knew god's face was handsome
With you i suffered an expansion
This loss is numbing me
It pierces my chest
And i can't stop dropping everything
I thought we'd be sexy together
Thought we'd be evolving together
I thought we'd have children together
I thought we'd be family together
But i was sadly mistaken
If i had a bill for all the philosophies i shared
If i had a penny for all the possibilities i presented
If i had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air
My wealth would render this no less severe
I thought we'd be genius together
I thought we'd be healing together
I thought we'd be growing together
Thought we'd be adventurous togheter
But i was sadly mistaken
Thought we'd be exploring together
Thought we'd be inspired together
I thought we'd be flying together
Thought we'd be on fire together
But i was sadly mistaken
I know, I know... its a grotesquely passionate tune just drowning with regret on a future that could've been.
But, no matter how lyrically bitter it may be, complete with the overwhelming sadness within... it's one of those very rare tracks that's just. Perfect.

I found perfection in Pearl Jam's 'Black'.
Glad to see you feel the same way... :)
Btw, been listening to Black here and it's definitely one for the list. However, I distinctly remember you mentioning the live version of the same song being what clinched it for you. Mind letting me know which album is it on?
Sure thing, its the one on the Pearl Jam : Live at Benaroya Hall CD.
