This was the first song I heard after learning a coworker/friend of mine had been killed. His car was having problems so he approached a stranger to ask for help. The stranger shot him in the chest. I heard the news at school and had to be pulled from classes for the day because I was so upset. Sitting in the back of my mom's car with my little iPod shuffle, this was the song that came on. I don't think I've ever had such a purely cathartic cry since then. Still can't listen to anything that sounds even remotely like the opening piano notes without being put in a really somber headspace.
This is the song on the album that I listened to at the lowest low of the year after my ex and I split, this song and the whole album really kept me living and powering through.
This song makes me think of Melissa so much. I miss you, pretty girl. Rest in peace. I hope Neil gave Amanda that handwritten letter I wrote to her after I met him in Fort Collins at Firehouse books last year... It had my deepest feelings in it. They are my favourite couple.
Whenever this one comes on, I have to play it more than once in a row. It's just SO achingly beautiful. I think watching the video of your performance with the interpretative dancers (I think it came with the CD?) was what really sold this song for me. I already liked the song itself, but watching that performance made me sob. I wasn't even expecting it. There was just a moment near the end when the music builds up and swells at the same time the woman leaps up into the man's arms, and it was just this powerfully intense emotional moment. Really beautiful. Now whenever I hear the song, I picture that dance performance and I'm transported. It's a gorgeous song, Amanda. Really well done. :)
woah. I just listened to this song this morning, and here it is re-uploaded. Two years ago today, a friend of mine died in a car wreck. This song reminds me of her.
bruh I always thought of Chloe from Life is Strange when listening to that song. Then a couple years ago, my dog got hit by a train lol I f cried at nights half a year later when I started realising he was gone.
I have to drive I have my reasons, dear It's cold outside I hate the seasons here I suffer mornings most of all I feel so powerless and small By 10 o'clock I'm back in bed Fighting the jury in my head We learn to drive It's only natural, dear We drive all night We haven't slept in years We suffer mornings most of all We saw you lying in the road We tried to dig a decent grave But it's still no way to behave It is a delicate position Spin the bottle, pick the victim Catch a tiger, switch directions If he hollers, break his ankles to protect him We'll have to drive They're getting closer Just get inside It's almost over We will save your brothers We will save your cousins We will drive them Far away from streets and signs From all signs of mad mankind We suffer mornings most of all Wake up all bleary-eyed and sore Forgetting everything we saw [Whispered:] I'll meet you in an hour At the car
Catch a snake If she holler Break my ankle To protect her I catch with times Is getting closer. It's only wine. We are digging cover.. Shelter your brothers. Shelter your ankles We are only lovers It's the same example..
She was so drunk she didn’t even swerve.”“So drunk? So drunk? The cop car would have had its lights on. Pudge, she ran into a cop car that had its lights on,” he said hurriedly. “Straight and fast. Straight and fast. Out of the labyrinth.”
I grieved to this song. This album saved my life that year. Thank you
+PhobicGamer I'm with you there.
Saves me to this day.
Yo.. I'm so with you. Amanda literally saved my life from hopeless junkie to back to life

I understand comrade, you're not alone

The world definitively needs more artists like Amanda.

Same here, first college relationship ended around the time this album came out. Such an amazing lyricist.
I've always found this to be among the most relatable Palmer songs
This planet needs more Amanda Palmer. Thank you Amanda!
This song save my life, Kept me alive and make my future
Thanks for save my life amanda
all I can do is say thank you, Amanda, for being you.

This was always my favorite song from WKAP. It takes me right back to leaving my college dorm at 3am just to drive around.
woah. I just listened to this song this morning, and here it is re-uploaded. Two years ago today, a friend of mine died in a car wreck. This song reminds me of her.
this song is one of my favourites. It feels like comforting you need when you're mourning.
There are very few artists quite like Amanda Palmer. And I fucking hate that.
This is amazing.
I'm considering ending stuff right now. Hearing this is slightly calming. Thank you.
Raven Black How are you...?
I hope you didn't go through with it.
Raven Black hey are you okay?
How are you now?
You around bud? :(
When your having suicidal thoughts and just want the pain to stop 😭 And Amanda gives you a hug through her music 😭
I hope you're doing alright =/
To think this existed back when I was a younger dood. I think that kid would've liked it too.
God bless you and yours Amanda. ❤️❤️❤️
I have never related to a song about roadkill so much 😭
This song...Wow...
This is such a beautiful song.

So sorry for your loss
Só amazing😢
Amanda have really goods songs 💓✌️
Why this one doesn't have any video?? It's maybe the only one from Who Killed Amanda that doesn't have any video clip! Why??
I have to drive
I have my reasons, dear
It's cold outside
I hate the seasons here
I suffer mornings most of all
I feel so powerless and small
By 10 o'clock I'm back in bed
Fighting the jury in my head
We learn to drive
It's only natural, dear
We drive all night
We haven't slept in years
We suffer mornings most of all
We saw you lying in the road
We tried to dig a decent grave
But it's still no way to behave
It is a delicate position
Spin the bottle, pick the victim
Catch a tiger, switch directions
If he hollers, break his ankles to protect him
We'll have to drive
They're getting closer
Just get inside
It's almost over
We will save your brothers
We will save your cousins
We will drive them
Far away from streets and signs
From all signs of mad mankind
We suffer mornings most of all
Wake up all bleary-eyed and sore
Forgetting everything we saw
[Whispered:]
I'll meet you in an hour
At the car
ive been trying to find this for so long and i want to sob.
Awesome!
i love this one. i feel like this.
...ahhhh.....
In love 💖🌸🌻
Amanda, if you ever read this: thank you
Catch a snake
If she holler
Break my ankle
To protect her
I catch with times
Is getting closer.
It's only wine.
We are digging cover..
Shelter your brothers.
Shelter your ankles
We are only lovers
It's the same example..
OMG❤
R.I.P.
You should try a trip out onto (maybe) the Arizona Strip with your "Honey-chile," and your "Honey." Peaceful with no people, you know.
HERE WE GO AGAIN
Feeling it
Thanks, Amanda.
What is this song about? Her stepbrother?
roadkill
