Ah, love
I'm reading a thread on the Something Awful forums titled "Most depressing song?" I'm into page two of the thread (and nobody's mentioned Neutral Milk Hotel's "Holland 1945" yet!) when I came upon this and realized that I may not be the nerdiest man alive:
OK, this one's kind of a stretch but I have to nominate Johnny Cash's cover of "Deliah's Gone," because my girlfriend made the very convincing argument that if you really listen, it could also be about having to kill your wife after she turns into a zombie (we're both tragic zombie nerds). The first night we slept together I spent about an hour lying awake thinking about the prospect of having to kill her if she ever turned. I know, it's stupid, but I had just lost my virginity and my brain was still all screwy.
But anyway, whenever I hear "Deliah's Gone" I think about having to shoot my zombified girlfriend in the face.
