Day 33: February 2: Down in the Hole

"Gets to feel like home to me though I know it looks like hell."


Heavy-handed metaphor about isolation and wallowing post-breakup.  While it's not his best lyrical creation, I really like the musical contrast between the somber verse and the mournful chorus.  There's also a truth to be found in the idea of learning to feel comfortable in a state of self-pity.  Climb inside and scorn the world.

Happy Groundhog Day



I really considered Tom Waits' "Way Down in the Hole" which served as the theme song to the great HBO series "The Wire" to go with this one- but I couldn't resist a Groundhog Day pun instead.  Looks like winter is mostly behind us.  Enjoy some Cat.
