Challenge number dos

This one nearly did me in. After entirely too much deliberation I chose the song "Perfect Blue Buildings" by Counting Crows. I suffered for some time before I realized that it would be nearly impossible to find a song that can communicate who I am essentially to anyone, unless I wrote it myself, and I don't write songs so...But, Porfiry knew this when she offered the challenge. I just have a nasty habit of over thinking absolutely everything. Anyway, if you've ever heard this song, you know that it's super melancholy but beautiful, really. It seems to convey a sort of hopelessness that I find extremely honest. The soothing visual images contradict the songs raw emotional rendering. Softly shaped blue building beside a calm green apple sea? Let's just go. For me, I suppose this song expresses a sort of coalescence between intense sadness and devastatingly vivid optimism. I think both of those extremes live inside me.
