Holy fucking necrothread.
Two songs immediately came to my mind:
"Sugarmice" by Marillion (as suggested by lonestar)
is pretty, but "What to Say" by Enchant is just heart-wrenching. It's about a father trying to explain to his child that he is terminally ill...and Ted Leonard makes you feel the fathers pain.
I suggested both songs because they are very personal to me. Sugarmice is a sad song to begin with, a dad checking out on his kid and reflecting on it, but to have lived through it, it makes it that much sadder. Even in my seventh year of recovery, I still feel the pangs of what that song says, and the gaps that those moments left in both of our lives, gaps that will never be filled. I may be able to fight my way back into her heart, but I will never, ever, have it like I did when she was three. That is why that song is so sad for me. Daddy took a raincheck. I make no excuses, and take all responsibility, just a little to late.
Ok, this is just a fucking trip, and kind of scary. So this post was a good 10 months before I quit drinking, and embraced complete sobriety. The 'seventh year of recovery' I'm referring to here was sobriety from meth, a bit deal, but meaningless since I was at this time putting down a 12 pack and a bottle of Jager a night. The 'sobriety' lie I told myself here basically, in my fucked up mind, said drinking didn't count. I was still neglecting my responsibilities, and was still flushing my life.
Damn man...solid reminder for sure.
And Sugarmice is even more heartbreaking now than it was then.... if you want my address, it's number one at the end of the bar...
