“Did you get enough love, my little dove
Why do you cry?
And I’m sorry I left, but it was for the best
Though it never felt right
My little Versailles.”
It's been a very mediocre last two weeks. Long story short I lost a best friend due to a lot of ridiculous drama. My own nonsense aside, whenever I'm depressed I generally listen to the entirety of Sufjan Steven's album 'Carrie & Lowell' and this track brings me to tears every single time.
It's about the singer, Sufjan, sitting with his mother as she dies in the hospital. All of the lyrics are, according to Sufjan, the dialogue between him and his mother and it's all just heartbreaking.
