My favorite song at this moment is
Elvis Perkins' Shampoo. The lyrics make my throat tight everytime I hear them, which is about 137 times a day. In part ...
I don't want to die
however dark tomorrow may be
bought me a perfect square of sky
you are worth your weight in gold
you are worth your weight in sorrow, baby
though you will never know why
I totally think it's more touching to be worth your weight in sorrow than worth your weight in gold.
Here is a video of him playing the song live. I have to say, though, I prefer the album's version.
