MY WINDING WHEEL: I have a history of getting these things wrong, and misidentifying songs that are in fact depressing as optimistic or romantic, but all the same, I like this one.
There's not a long history behind my relationship to this song (new things do enter in sometimes; and it's in the process of acquiring its own meanings to me). When I'm in Chicago, I am generally driving without my cds, and have gotten into the habit of buying and burning something from itunes to take with me: so Rabbit Songs will always be (in part) August of 2007, and In the Clear is right around my sister's wedding. Heartbreaker (whence this song) was July of this year, and it's stuck with me since.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
