My daughter got a tattoo because of the lyrics of one of your songs when she was in college.(She showed it to you in St. Louis HA) It turned out a bit bigger than she imagined. LOL I don't care. I'm her mom. And you helped her when I didn't know how. She broke up with her first love in college and I KNEW what she was going through. I knew all I could do was listen. I was so scared for her. She was so into the Dresden Dolls then. She emailed you. I have no idea what she said but, I'm sure it was expressing her love of your music and how it was allowing her to "survive". YOU responding to her and WHAT you SAID helped her get through it. What you said turned things around for her. As a mom, I can never repay you for that. You mothered her when I knew but, didn't know how to help. What ever you said in that email to her helped her take a different focus. THANK YOU. Update in 2014 at 25...she is an amazing woman that I look up to and LOVE so much..my daughter, my child...grew into a lovely young woman.

It is years later and I cried a bit at the end of the song, and then more from your story. Thank you. I'm watching this because I was on a Neil Gaiman video binge, and watched a video with him and Amanda Palmer (they seem to be beautifully in love), where she was describing writing this song -- I haven't listened to much of her music before. I was married for a while once, for several years, but we grew apart and he wouldn't do anything about his snoring and I slept in a different room because I needed my sleep for my career . . . then our politics went separate directions and he crashed his career and I left and I'm happier and he's probably still sad. Life is just one story after another, isn't it?

This song came out shortly after my divorce and it so clearly described the death of our relationship...it was frightening...it was tragic...it was spot on. This is the song that allowed me to move past a lifetime of "men don't cry"...it allowed me to feel the pain that that I had shut away...it allowed me to cry unashamedly (eventually) and it still brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it (sometimes even on purpose). As always, thank you, Amanda! I will forever continue to wear Slayer shirts to your shows...

I was taken to an Evelyn Evelyn show, and Amanda did some of her solo work afterwards. This song was one of them. I’d never heard it before, and let me tell you, it had that same effect of causing me to burst into tears right there in public that it still has after multiple listens. She just nailed that feeling of a young relationship that drifts apart over time even though all of the milestones we think we want are being achieved. She does it in a way everyone can relate to because, as someone else said, it’s “ordinary”, this slow death of what was once so special and intimate, but that doesn’t make it any less tragic.

As someone with extensive social anxiety, I really have to say that this song has helped open my eyes a little bit. I cry every single time I listen to it, but I feel like its message has helped me feel not so... Afraid of asking people, well, what was the matter. I always have to listen to it more than once.

The story gets to me every time I hear the song. To think how many people go through life dealing (or NOT dealing) with their relationships in this way... I've been there. I hope the song serves as a wakeup call to people who've ended up in that place, where asking seems impossible. Your relationship(-s) and life a dead end. We have to ask. The art of fucking asking. We won't always get the answer we want, but even the wrong answer is better than remaining in the vacuum of that kind of life.

I just want to say, I'd love if Amanda saw this. This song, along with so many of your's really touch a part of my soul and heart (not to get fully cheesy here) but there is something about this song especially this that just makes me so emotional, I honestly think you are a complete creative genius, along with Neil (my favourite writer of all time) I find between both your works that it's like a surge of creativity and passion that really inspires me not only do the things I want without doubt. So thank you. You may never see these words but know that there is a boy somewhere in Scotland, Somewhere a little miss-understood, a little miss judged and a little miss guided but spurred on and trying his best to "make good art" fully inspired. thanks.

Exhibit A: We are friends in a sleeping bag Splitting the heat we have one filthy pillow to share And your lips are in my hair Someone upstairs has a rat that we laugh at And people are drinking and singing Van Halen and Slayer On a ukulele dare Exhibit B: Well, we found an apartment It's not much to look at, a futon on the floor Torn off desktop for a door All the decor's made of milk crates and duct tape And if we have sex they can hear us through the floor But we don't do that anymore And I lay there wondering what is the matter Is this a matter of worse or of better You took the blanket so I took the bed sheet But I would have held you if you'd only let me Exhibit C: Look how quaint and how quiet and private Our paychecks have bought us a condo in town It's the nicest flat around You picked a mattress and had it delivered And I walked upstairs and the sight of it made my heart pound And I wrapped my arms around me And I stood there wondering what is the matter Is this a matter of worse or of better You walked right past me and straightened the covers And I would still love you if you wanted a lover And you said, "All the money in the world Won't buy a bed so big and wide To guarantee that you won't accidentally touch me in the night" Then I said, "You must be right" Exhibit D: Now we're both mostly paralyzed Don't know how long we've been lying here in fear Too afraid to even feel I find my glasses and you turn the light out Roll off on your side like you've rolled away for years Holding back those king-size tears And I still don't ask you what is the matter Is this a matter of worse or of better You take the heart failure I'll take the cancer I've long stopped wondering why you don't answer Exhibit E: You can certainly see How fulfilling a life from the cost and size of stone Of our final resting home We got some nice ones right under a cherry tree You and me lying the only way we know Side by side and still and cold And I finally ask you what was the matter Was it a matter of worse or of better You stretch your arms out and finally face me You say I would have told you If you'd only asked me If you'd only asked me If you'd only asked me

Have a sneaking suspicion this artist will only be universally recognised for their incredibly relevant and rare talent in a few decades like Cohen or the Velvets not that it matters much if you found her today. A pioneer. A bonfire of flickering blazing poetry and song bathing us all in our best light and making shadows magnificent. I bet Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab smell amazing on Amanda Palmer.

This is one of my absolute most favorite songs from Theatre is Evil, and the video is so much more heartbreaking. This was perfect. And the release date was perfect, too. For a holiday centered around romance and gifts, this reminds people to communicate openly and honestly with their partners. Sometimes we all need that little reminder.

What an extraordinary song from an extraordinary artist. I've grown up with Amanda Palmer singing the songs of my soul... my angsty, ridiculous teenage years with the Dresden Dolls as my soundtrack, and now hearing music like this in my 20's, connecting with my fears and thoughts as I age. I hope to hear more from her soon. Amanda, you're my hero. Thank you for being you and sharing yourself so freely.

This song has just ripped my heart to shreds since the first time, the video just gives me a mental movie for the anguish. You are a master Amanda. I honestly love this song but have to skip it often to avoid feeling overwhelmingly sad when I should not.

I'm two months fresh out of an abusive relationship, and I don't usually get so personal in comments, but I think about how Amanda speaks about her fans and how impactful their sharing of these things ARE to her, so here I am. In the last few months of that four year long relationship, I listened to this song a lot. Often on repeat. Our story was a lot different in many ways than the one told here, but I often find that a bed can hold a lot of complicated feelings in any relationship in which one lives with another and shares it, and some lyrics came over into the context at which I experienced them perhaps differently than the way that Amanda intended them, but that's okay. It was how I needed to hear them, at the time. I would lay quietly in that bed beside her, because she had to sleep for work and I had a sleep disorder that had me on a different sleep schedule than her, trapped awake in the bedroom and the dark because it was the only room in that house that was air conditioned and wouldn't make me heatsick. I would listen to her breathe, and think of all of the things that I wished I could say to her, that I would have said to her if she would have listened, if she was the person that I had perceived her to be entering that relationship. If I'd ever actually tried to talk to her about it, she would break down and the end of the conversation would be summed up by how it was all my fault, actually. She would call our bed HER bed. She would complain about me clinging onto her in my sleep, crushing her between the wall and the edge of the bed, but I would always wake with a foot of space between us. If I was that clingy in my sleep, why wouldn't I wake up holding her at least once? Why does my best friend who I share a bed with now confirm that I never do anything like that? I deal with chronic pain and often need to eat in bed so that I can medicate, and she would always complain even when she ate in the bed herself. She always asked me to hold her, to touch her, but she always had an excuse as to why she couldn't do the same for me, unless she was touching me in ways that only served to please her. This song, alongside a lot of Amanda's songs, helped me find the strength to get out. I'll never stop being thankful to that. I'd been gaslit into believing I was my ex's wife, though we'd never married, and right now I'm in the process of understanding that I was never her wife, but I am struggling with fact that I still feel divorced, and I think that's gonna keep me coming back to these songs for comfort for a long while. Thank you, Amanda Palmer, and thank you to anyone else who takes the time to read.
