For those of you who know me, my sister died one week ago tonight. We buried her on Friday and I’m very sad and lost.
I went up to her house today to clean out her belongings along with my other sister and her two kids when I heard this song on the way to her house, Pete Yorn For Us. I like this song and I turned up the radio much to my children’s dismay.
It was very strange going through her clothes and things. We shared a lot of laughs and a lot of tears. I felt like she was in the hospital and I was cleaning up her house so she wouldn’t have to deal with it when she got home. I lost it when I realized she was gone and wouldn’t be coming back.
My son had an eye doctor’s appointment so we had to leave early. On my home way home I heard Pete Yorn For Us again. I thought it was a little strange but blew it off. Tonight I had to go out for milk and decided to stop in the bar I always hang out in to see my girlfriend who was bartending. I told her about my day and how sad it was. They have satellite radio when the jukebox is not being used and low and behold I heard once again Pete Yorn For Us. I said that’s the third time I’ve heard this song today. She said maybe she’s trying to leave a message to you.
Here’s the song. Tell me what you think
"For Us"
Ask yourself
What do you think about us?
I was in the station
Working on something for us
You say your empty mind
Is easy when it's drugged
I watched you fall out of bed and scrape up your back
Well, maybe
This life is like the drug.
This life is like the drug.
Ask yourself
What do they say about us?
I was in the station
Cooking up something for us
You say your empty mind
Is easy when it's drugged
I watched you fall out of bed and scrape up your back
Well, maybe
This life is like your bed.
This life is like your bed.
I've seen you fall between
Everywhere we go
They want to love you, baby
More than you know
I've seen the storm inside you
All through the day I know it never leaves you
Not in that way
(Yeah)
I've seen your empty mind is easy when it's drugged
I've watched you fall out of bed and then scrape up your back
Well, maybe
This life is like your head.
This life is like your head.
This life is like your head...
Ask yourself
Ask yourself
Yeah, ask yourself
