"The Suicide Song" an EMO classic from Park Borchert

The "Suicide Song" is not about suicide. It is about love. More specifically, it is about the first second of consciousness when you wake up and someone has broken your heart. But you forgot about it while you were asleep and then when you wake and then after the immediate recognition that your heart is devastated, you realize you would rather be asleep or just not exist at all. Although, technically, it is a waltz. I remember when I wrote this song, a well meaning friend pulled me aside and said, "If you ever need to talk, I'm here for you, but honestly, suicide is never the answer." It was flattering, I guess, that the song was either that believable or impactful. Perhaps, I just seemed that unhinged. Well, unhinged or not, this is one of my favorite songs. In my mind it is played by a string quartet.
