[Garbage - Only happy when it rains]

[(Anonymous)]

I know what you mean, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

I think I listened to this song wrong. It was one of my "happy" songs back then and I didn't really bother thinking about the lyrics.

I hope you are in a happier and more content state of mind now, OP.

[elialshadowpine]

Nope, you're not the only one who listened to it that way. Granted, I mentioned in the disturbing music thread the other day that my "happy" music tends towards the dark and depressing.

[raspberryrain]

It's a really, really good song.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, it is. Also Shirley Manson is the hotness.

[(Anonymous)]

Favorite Terminator.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, it is.

[(Anonymous)]

i always thought the song was making fun of those "i'm so dark and depressed" songs that were popular in the mid-1990s

[(Anonymous)]

Same here. I could have sworn Shirley herself said the song was kind of pointing out how silly how popular the whole "my life is so dark and sad, you don't even know" bragging trend became.

[we_are_borg]

You're describing my teenage angst so perfectly! I kinda miss that feeling sometimes... of being sad but also embracing those feelings.

[(Anonymous)]

op here: me too, an frankly that scares the shit out of me.

Text: I always sort of considered this song to be a somewhat tangible representation of how I felt about my depression as a teenager. The way how sometimes you can get comfortable in your own sadness. Yes, this secret is more than 15 years too late, but I still feel that way if I ever hear it on the radio or play the album.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh man, this song. I may have to go download it to my iTunes now.
