i remembered the first time i was attracted to this song because of its title
this city had basically demolished my strength which I fought so hard trying to reserve. A deceived strength already not there, like a fish living in a pond barely had water to breathe - suffocating
i seldom listened to Clarkson, it's just not my type of music...but i couldn't say this on Irvine. It connected me deep down to my soul. It's haunting i would say, because of its lyrics, and the words that Clarkson said about this song:
"The last song on My December, "Irvine", it literally was the lowest point I've had in my life. I wrote it after my Irvine show on my last tour. I was just so burned-out. I was really struggling at getting somebody out of my life and finding people that really cared. The whole song is a prayer. I wrote it in the bathroom of the venue after the show. I had to cancel my meet-and-greet; it's the only meet-and-greet I've ever canceled. I couldn't smile. It was just a really, really bad night."
Irvine is my losing battlefield. A train wreck.
