The Story
A memory behind the music
When I was dating Dora I _really_ loved this song. I remember being sick on spring day with a headache, a runny nose, a light fever, and just generally feeling terrible. I was over at her place in the evening drinking tea and wanting to just curl up on the couch and feel terrible and I really wanted to listen to this song. So I put on the uniquely nice speaker system she had and was playing it and halfway through the song she just wasn't having it. She was totally not into this song. Not into me enjoying it while on the couch feeling miserable. It was a case of her completely missing how I was feeling. We even had a fight a day or two later because she was worried i was making myself too busy with life activities for my health and for my ability to spend time with her even when I was over at her place two or three times a week. I think a moment like that is what made this song make a bit more sense, or at least the music video. There was that desire to want someone but for so many reasons it was never going to work out with the person you imagined at the time. Instead, the real person meant for me was somewhere in Tokyo.
