That's a recording of The Moldy Peaches pre-show chant "One good turn deserves another", from the tour we were on when my guitar got stolen, when Aaron was in the band. The acoustic version of this song was recorded before Aaron died. I recorded this version after he died as a tribute to a friend that I bonded with over the love of a good powerballad.
Kimya Dawson I'm sorry to hear that, this song helps me cope with what demons are inside of me. I listen to it when I am troubled and questioning why I'm even here.
Kimya, I just saw Meet Me in the Bathroom on my flight home from Puerto Rico (visiting my grandma) and was strangely blindsided by the inclusion of a lot of 9/11 images. It was strange in that I didn't consider that this docufilm would touch on that which touched ALL OF US who lived in NYC at that time. I was working downtown on that day; 2 blocks from the Spring Street station at 315 Hudson Street. This song played at the point in the 9/11 portion of the movie where I was just about done crying and was shaking my head the whole time (in agreement with your lyrics). It reminded me of the feeling of walking through Union Square Park amongst all the candles and "Missing" posters. Hugs and thank you.
When I first heard this song, I had already listened to some of her other songs, and I liked them. I thought they were cute and polite. Then I heard this song and My life was altered. For an emotionally turned off teenager I thought back to that day and all of the emotions I had then and I shivered with chills. I couldnt stop wanting to go back and then I remembered who I am now and I returned. Now I shiver whenever I hear this song and I remember how I became me today. It, this song, fixes me.
This song always makes me teary-eyed because I heard right before I got a call that my boyfriend was in a really terrible accident. "This is just a test, take it with love and you will pass." I did, and he's fine today after spending 6 weeks in the hospital over a year ago. Oh, and we are still together and stronger than ever. "Don't take anything for granted" This song got me through all that shit. :)
I've had this song on my ipod atleast a year and I'm just now falling in love with it. I've not heard the other version much but this one...this one I adore.
I wish that when she talks about getting her guitar stolen from her van that she would have just given up and I could have been sparred the minute or so I accidentally wasted on listening to this gloomy Raffi mixtape track.

So powerful. I always assumed it was some buddhist chant. The real story, in this cast, as is often the case, colors things so more vividly.
i sure hope youre not the real kimya, cos i always thought she'd be a more elegant writer.
