I read this little review of a song, and I thought it was absolutely beautiful and wanted to share it with everyone. So here it goes.

"I can't put into words the beauty of this song. I can try though.

You know when you're alone and nostalgic and just a little high, and you're sitting in your own little corner of the world and no one else exists, or at least in your mind they don't, and this song comes on and it's so beautiful that a tiny tear rolls down your cheek and you don't even notice it, and for that one second that tear and that song are the only thing in this world that are beautiful, and then all of a sudden you're bawling and screaming and punching walls because you just can't hold it in any longer and you're yelling everything bad that's ever happened to you to the air because there's no one there to listen for you, so you just pretend, and you really wish you had someone to hold you and tell you that everything will be alright and you're just having a rough time, but there's no one, so you hold yourself and sit with your legs crossed just holding yourself and thinking, and crying silent tears, because you don't want anything to hear you crying and walk over and see if you're okay, because just for this 5 minutes you need to be not okay, and you need to let your thoughts and anger and everything spill across the floor, and then the song ends and everything is okay.

I think if you did that you would hear this song."

Because everyone feels like this sometimes. This was written about 'Two Headed Boy, Pt.2' by Neutral Milk Hotel, but because I can't find a decent video on YouTube, here's 'Holland, 1945' by the same band:
