  • Gonna go tell my mum I love her.

  • I can't believe how this song always gets me. Tears on my cheeks every time.

    Amanda is the only one able to do that. <3

  • Yeah just cried. That happened.

  • @DocFrobnitz Yeah, I made an overly sentimental and generalizing remark about a favorite song by a then-favorite artist a couple years ago. Something that was so incredibly offensive to you that you took the time to post a self-righteous tirade about it. And you're telling me that I need to look at myself? My turn to call bullshit. You started things by putting me down, and why? You aren't going to change my mind about anything, and all you've proven is that you're kind of an dick.

  • @mightykaytor No, I don't project much, no need.

    You made a stupid "snips & snails & puppy-dog tails" comment, I called bullshit on general principles, and you responded with a clearly-practiced rant that you really should read, if you can spare a minute of being honest - not with me, I'm just somebody on the net; just with yourself, right where you are sitting now. (What do you have to fear? Sugar, spice, everything nice?) Or is putting others down what you need to feel good about yourself?

  • @DocFrobnitz Oh wow, project much? You're one to talk, building a psychological profile off a stranger's moment of emotional hypoerbole, (on Youtube, no less). Your massive assumptions are much more indicative of your questionable own emotional state than mine. Moreover, I was talking about the power dynamics specific to parent-child relationships, but thanks for putting your sanctimonious Gender Cop's two cents in. I suggest you pay more attention to your social disability.

  • @mightykaytor ... says someone who doesn't appear to understand girls OR boys.

    People feel. Happy, sad, fearful, defiant, regretful. Nothing in those feelings has anything to do with gender.

    But I have noticed that people who say such silly things often don't have (or don't understand) feelings of their own, so they imagine that everyone else is as messed up as they are.

    Pay more attention to your own feelings, less to imagining that everyone else shares your emotional disability.

  • @xritinyo "How can a person be so inspirational in both cases?"

    Partly by having the talent to write and play their own inspirational songs.

    And partly by playing covers of songs that inspired her. Like this one, whwhere she covers a Dillie Keane/Fascinating Aïda song.  Or "I Want You, But I Don't Need You", where she covers a Momus song. If it moves her, she knows it will probably move other people listening to her cover it.

  • Oh how I just cried watching that.
