Songs that hit too close to home

    I was listening to Ingrid Michelson last night, and I realized that I could have written the song "Die Alone." The neurosis about relationships it described could be my own.

    The other song I listened to last night that slapped me up side the face was "The Grudge" by Alanis. I know I need to let go of some of the anger and hostility I continue to carry around that's aimed at past lovers, but, much like Alanis, I haven't been able to do so.

    I'm interested to hear about songs that hit too close to home for other SportsJournalists.commer.

    Hidden In Plain View's "Bleed For You" tops my list, easily. It's been tough to listen to for the last couple years.

    You and I have talked about it, sc, but for me, it's Flinch by Alanis.


    That and Again by Janet Jackson.

    Flinch is amazing. Alanis has become quite the everywoman in the years since she was so very angry.

    Miss me if you will
    Hate me if you must
    You'll get along without me
    We weren't meant to be us

    You never needed me
    Like I had needed you
    The truth was plain to see
    The truth I always knew

    We spent our years together
    Without so many words
    Hard to judge the weather
    When silence is preferred

    Too often took for granted
    A happiness we'd known
    Seeds of doubt were planted
    A sadness reaped and sown

    We've gone our sep'rate ways
    You went yours and I went mine
    I'm left to count the days
    Dyin' slow and killin' time

    The mem'ries start to fade
    Apart we'll sever ties
    Upon this bed I've made
    Uncertain my head lies

    Maybe someday down the road
    We'll meet along our paths
    Forget the tears we showed
    And maybe share a laugh

    Miss me if you will
    Hate me with unease
    I'll get along without you
    But don't forget me please

    For me it's Tom Petty's Crawling Back to You. My favorite Petty song of all time.

    And I think "Me So Horny" would be a default one for most of the men of sj.
