I love it when you hear a song and think 'that's exactly how I feel'. Maybe I misinterpret songs. But I swear I have a song for every occasion.And I'm constantly connecting with new ones. Godammit, I love the way words make me feel. I guess it comes from being a writer, I'll take a song with an intelligent set of lyrics over a fancy guitar solo anyday.

Today it is this song, Diagnosis by The Weakerthans.

I have a headache. I have a sore back. I have a letter I can't send.
I have desire, it falters and falls down, it calls you up drunk at three or four a.m...
To wonder when...wonderful. All the cheap tricks I tried too hard not to pull.
Pulled along or pulled apart. The diagnosis of a foreign frame of heart.

I have a story that I'd like to tell you, it's littered with settings and second takes.
I have a feeling that hums with the street lights and hides under ice in always frozen lakes...
My mistake to make you cringe. Another greeting like a broken creaky hinge,
To oil and push or pry apart. The diagnosis of a foreign frame of heart.

Found a cure for being sure, and, sure as anything, I'll smile for my reckoning.

What does this song say to you? What is it about? Like I said, maybe I'm reading into it wrong. But I don't mind, my interpreation suits me just fine. I'm just curious as to whether I'm subconsciously putting my feelings into my favourite songs haha xxx
