Oh, I'm alright, but sometimes I break down into random spats of heartbreak. Usually at songs. Songs have always brought emotions to the surface for me and they always will. Married to the pain.
The number one song that kills me is 'Nobody's Baby Now' by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It's from the album Let Love In, and if you want to get into Nick Cave [which you SHOULD] I'd recommend starting with that one. In Frank's words, it's fucking classy.
Anyway. I cried rivers the first time I heard it, and for many days to follow. [There's another Nick Caver reference for all you sharp tools in the shed.] Mainly because I remember it playing the last, very last time we ever had sex, and also because it's a beautiful song on its own. From the first line 'I've searched the holy books' to the last 'Nobody's baby now ...' it's pure lyrical genius. I knew I would like it when I heard the lines 'I've read the poets and the analysts/Searched through the books on human behavior'. It's as if it was written for me. Anyway, the best part is the middle:

I loved her then and I guess I love her still
Hers is the face I see when a certain mood moves in
She lives in my blood and skin
Her wild feral stare, her dark hair
Her winter lips, as cold as stone
I was her man
But there are some things love won't allow
I held her hand but I don't hold it now
I don't know why and I don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now
This is her dress that I loved best
With the blue quilted violets across the breast
And these are my many letters
Torn to pieces by long-fingered hands
I was her cruel hearted man
And though I've tried to lay her ghost down
She's moving through me even now
I don't know why and I don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now ...

It honestly is one of the saddest, most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I think it's tying with Regina Spektor's 'Samson' for the top spot right now, and that's saying something considering my long love affair with Samson. Anyway, I think that song gets me the most. Then the other day I was listening to 'Good Day' by Jewel [of all the songs!] and broke down into tears in the part which goes:

I shiver, shut the door
Can't think standing here no more
I'm alone, my mind's racing
Heart breaking
Can you be everything I need you to be?
Can you protect me like a daughter?
Can you love me like a father?
Can you drink ... me like water?
Say I'm like the desert
Just way hotter

and I was gone. All the way gone. Also in the chorus:

It's gonna be alright
No matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day
Just wait and see
It's going to be okay
Cos I'm okay with me

the old crying-at-positivity because you can see where it lacks in you. And today I found another song - I'm really a genius at rooting up these self-destructive songs. This one is 'I Will Follow You Into The Dark' by Death Cab For Cutie, but I found a cover of it on Amanda Palmer's MySpace and she does it slowly and with piano and makes it a million times sadder. No need to recite lyrics here, the whole thing is devastatingly sad.
As well as all these there were the usual suspects - 'Samson' of course, that pretty much goes without saying. And 'First Orgasm' and 'Delilah' and anything, really, by Coldplay or Dido.

Sometimes I wonder whether anyone but myself will ever read this. Some part of me hopes not.
