I agree with everyone about how wonderful the song is. The images you used were great! You must have searched for quite a while to find them. It added feelings that I don't usually associate with the song. Just different, which was nice.
this is visceral.. She's been there, as we all have, and the sorrow and grief and RAGE radiate out of her experience into this Art.. I just LOVE how she puts words to feelings so dark that they scare us.. the blessed bleak beauty of it all.
"Dilate: 1. Make wider or larger; expand, amplify, enlarge. 2. extend, disseminate, disperse. 3. Relate at length; enlarge upon. 4. Discourse or write at large (on, upon). 5. Become wider or larger; spread out, enlarge." I always thought she was "dilating" upon having her heart broken. There's the obvious feminine aspect, but as a guy, this is still my favorite album of all time about being hurt by someone.
2:07 onwards...SO raw.

The intro/1st verse sounds a lot like Suzanne Vega.
