I've always loved this song, now imbued with new meaning. The original video is enchanting as well.

"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.

Fidelity (Regina Spektor)

I never loved nobody fully
always one foot on the ground
and by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
all these voices
I hear in my mind
all these words
I hear in mind
all this music
and it breaks my heart

Suppose I never ever met you
suppose we never fell in love
suppose I never ever let you
kiss me so sweet and so soft
suppose I never ever saw you
suppose you never ever called
suppose I kept on singing love songs
just to break my own fall

Just to break my fall

All my friends say
that of course it's
gonna get better...


Add your voice.

I realize that doing that "Post Photo of Yourself As Teenager" meme I saw on a plethora of friends' journals might totally destroy any babybat cred I had going, but c'est la vie. I think I was fifteen when this was taken:
