I really like this, but to me it's not about just keeping oneself occupied. It feels more about the emotions of someone unhappy with life. Indeed, a "deceptively dark little number." Very great song.
i did a cover of this song... its very rough and i played ukulele instead of piano... i was wondering if you take a listen if you have the time... if not... its okay... i think your music is beautiful. and this song inspired me to start trying to sing again.... thanks.
You and Jen are my favourite musicians, hands down. I am happy everytime I listen to your songs that I kept $15 at the Australia Day show, because as soon as it was over, I ran to go buy your CD, literally spending my last cent to get it. And it's autographed!! I will treasure it forever, just like I treasure you guys and your amazing songs.
just snagged the "amanda palmer down under" album. this song is amazing. definitly one of my favorites from the album. great job mr. dickins.
its crazy hearing this on the album and then watching you play it on youtube in your house. lol. this is why i love the internet. keep up the great work!
Your voice is so full of feeling, so lovely and pleasant to listen to. I may have found this on the Amanda Palmer album, but I keep coming back for that voice. Your music is wonderful, and I'd be lying if I said this song didn't make me cry. There's something wonderful about the image of Bad Wine and Lemon Cake, I don't even know what it is.
This song has been in my dreams twice in a row. I wake up and its stuck in my head and I can't go back to sleep. So weird, since I haven't listened to it in a while.
I approve of Regina Spektor, Amanda Palmer, and Rufus Wainwright. And you. I'm glad I got into Amanda Palmer, and am directed towards people like you and things like this.
You know i just heard this on Amandas new Album (like a lot of other people i guess) and i have to say - not only do you have a great talent for writing songs, you also have a formidable voice =)
I always find myself coming back to this song on AFP's new album. And then when I read that you wrote it whilst listening to AFP and Rufus Wainwright, my 2 FAVORITE singers for the past 4 years or so, it just made sense. I love this song on so many levels. You are very talented :)
having listened to the new Amanda Palmer album it surprises me that the song keep coming back to isnt one of hers but is indeed this song. you caught something in this song thats just so perfect.
On the real, I think this song kicks so much balls. I'm form the Los Angeles Area, and I used to think if I heard another sad piano song I'd kill someone. But you , sir. Make everything better because this song legitimizes song writing again for me, this is beautiful, and I'm sorry I heard it first on the AP album, but at the same time, chill publicity, man. but really. You rock, on the level.
Hey babe, is Cat. Can you do like a piano tutorial for this? It seems simple enough but I don't really have that much confidence in my piano abilities anyway... x
This song captures so much that I've felt but haven't been able to put into words. Thank you!
