Feel the same about Placebo :) Every time I listen to them, I really like their stuff, but they've never been one of my favorite bands somehow...

you still cultivating old feelings, with maybe some help from the early, melancholic autumn rains?

Thankfully, no rains here yet and I'd like to keep it that way :P Actually, it's quite difficult too. I find myself torn between my own emotional welfare and the thing I'm writing, which could really use some torment :))

But in hindsight, the person it was originally intended to, in my life, turned out to be a massive dodged bullet.

It's so weird when that happens, isn't it? You're both thankful and sad at the same time...
