“Send the poison rain down the drain, to put bad thoughts in my head”

Due to my lack of  things to do yesterday, I spent the better part of my night watching movies and one of them happened to be Good Will Hunting. I really liked the movie, Matt Damon was awesome. Anyway the movie is not really what I want to focus on, but a song at the end of the movie that I really enjoyed. It's a song by Elliot Smith called Miss Misery, it was melancholic, depressing, and really well done. His voice is really whispery, and soothing actually, I checked some of his other songs and they were good too. The lyrics board on the suicidal and the positively eerie. I was googling him after only to be disappointed because he actually committed suicide- two stab wounds to the chest. I wonder at what point in his life did he feel that he had enough, that his existence was nothing worth fighting for; his songs are an epitome of his life. I feel terribly sorry for people that have to go through that type of war with only themselves to turn to or alcohol and drugs, like Elliot. Life is an idiosyncrasy after all, sometimes I wish I could know the architecture of the mind, in the emotional sense. Well Elliot you did leave a legacy behind: I appreciate your music.
