Thank goodness for relationships. Let me rephrase - thank goodness for bad relationships. I would love to be able to have this much to write about although I don't think I could handle the emotional trauma. If all that Damien sings is true then I am suprised he is still with us. The aching and longing that Jurado sings about is so meloncholic that one just can't help but feel the pain. With lyrics like "Now those days are gone/Slowly slip away" and "But the letter never came/So I waited by the Phone/to hear it ring". Buck up young Damien, life will get better. In the meantime keep up the great songwriting about all your failed relationships.
