30-day song challenge - day 10 - a song that makes you sad
Lana Del Rey - California
Yes, for this slot I picked a Lana Del Rey song. Open up a separate page for the lyrics, and then let me explain why this song makes me sad.
Now, I'm Canadian, but Dude Boy'd landed a job in California before he killed himself. I regret that we drifted apart in later years (if I was even allowed to say that at age 25). I don't have much of an excuse for that - I could have reached out more, and my reward for that was that he didn't even mention me in his suicide note. He mentioned my parents, he mentioned his friends, he mentioned the computer club was president of - but not me.
Anyways, one of the things I'd been thinking about before he killed himself was that it'd be nice to have some all-you-can-eat sushi in my shitty town, because you can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle themselves at all-you-can-eat sushi. We'd never really done anything together (and without anyone else) as adults. But I figured he'd have more time on his hands after graduating.
So if, as Lana explains, if Dude Boy were ever to show back up on planet earth - in California, in Ontario, whatever - then I would like to take him to sushi. Or go biking at the park, or watch Stephen Chow movies all afternoon, or anything else. I'm not picky.
