For WLB: Sugar, The Slim

(i pretend this is for her own family; her brother, parents, daughter, husband, friends, facebook. but this is for us, all of us, all of us who listened to this fucking album over and over until Copper Blue sounded as lame as Colorado. We were, once, a jaded bunch…)

“…I, with your breath on my pillow. I, with the memory, I get to wait it out. Never put it away. When you left, with your death, I felt anger when I looked back on my pillow. What you used to say. What you used to say…

I felt your breath for a moment; I heard your voice for a moment. Then I looked back on my pillow; what you used to say. What we used to say: That the chances seemed so slim. The chances used to be so slim.”

Slim. So slim. This was his goodbye-forever song. That kind of song has no substance until you are, suddenly, no longer there. Thank god you kind of liked Hüsker Dü.
