100,000 Fireflies
"You won't be happy with me, but give me one more chance, you won't be happy anyway..."
A gorgeous song, thrust back into my consciousness by joisacliche's delightful, but swiftly deleted cover version. And a song all the more wonderful for its acceptance that love doesn't guarantee happiness, and that the people you love are the ones who can hurt you the most. But that love is still something utterly fantastical. Like 100,000 fireflies ricocheting around your room. (Or in my case, one moth pinballing around my lampshade. Time to turn out the lights...)
