"Rain"

[avram]

I went to bed thinking melancholy thoughts, and woke up from a dream in which I’d been listening to the song “Rain” from the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack. (I picked up the CD, a Japanese import, in Seattle during my visit a couple of years ago.) Now I’ve got a new musical melancholy trigger.

While I like the song, it sounds like something Aerosmith would turn out in a self-aware fit of maudlin. It’s a bit embarassing to have so cheesy a song be an emotional trigger, but I’m stuck with it.

Still 280.5, damn it. At least I’m up early.

Later: A couple of listenings later, I find it’s hard to stay melancholy while listening to lyrics like “If there is a Hell, I’m sure this is how it smells.”
