Radio Cure by Wilco

While working on my car and listening to Wilco, this song came on and stopped me in the midst of what I was doing. Last year I was in a relationship that shortly turned into a long distance relationship after a week or so of dating. This song reminds me of making the choice to leave a loved one behind all the while being driven by some unseen force. It reminds me of being across the country from someone you love, all the while feeling the hopelessness and pain of the distance between them, searching the radio or your own music collection for songs that remind you of the person and that can ease your pain.

Radio Cure
by Wilco

Cheer up, honey I hope you can
There is something wrong with me
My mind is filled with silvery stuff
Honey kisses clouds of fluff
Shoulders shrugging off

Cheer up, honey I hope you can
There is something wrong with me
My mind is filled with radio cures
Electronic surgical words

Picking apples for the kings and queens of things I've never seen

Oh, distance has no way of making love understandable

Cheer up, honey I hope you can
There is something wrong with me
My mind is filled with silvery stars
Honey kisses clouds of love

Picking apples for the kings and queens of things I've never seen

Oh, distance has no way of making love understandable
Oh, distance has no way of making love understandable
Oh, distance has no way of making love understandable
Oh, distance has no way of making love understandable

Cheer up, honey I hope you can
