Number 45: Rilo Kiley - A Man/Me/Then Jim
Album: More Adventurous, 2004.
Added 5/22/09, 49 plays.
Three tales of love lost, from three narrators, telling two stories. The first and last is of how Jim killed himself when he lost Diana, and how that makes others think about the losses in their own lives. Jim tell her, explicitly, that he would die for her, then makes good on it. But he also touches on something that I hear pretty often in music (and life), that of losing oneself in a relationship, to be so completely enamored as to forget all else. I think that's fine for some people, and in fact, it's a great feeling... just not for the object of affection. Hence the rejection, hence the follow-through on the ultimatum.
Someone once said that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. I wonder if they ever got their heart stomped on.
