    i remember reading someone’s theory that this song is actually about murdoc’s relationship with noodle. not like in a gross romantic way but as father and daughter. he’s an alcoholic with a fucked up childhood, awful temper and by no means is considered a good person by neither himself nor everyone who knows him. so when a little girl comes crashing into his life and drastically changes it he becomes shaken. they grow to become father and daughter, so losing her in el manana fucks him up even more. i mean, consider it, he goes even crazier than before and makes a cyborg out of her image. he doesn’t do the same when russel disappears but instead gets a drum machine. he could have gotten another guitar player or something similar but he didn’t. in all interviews during phase three he continuously talks about her as being “somewhere out there” and even calls her his little girl in one of the pirate radios. if that’s not a man in grief then i don’t know what. i just, idk really like the idea that they have this sort of relationship

    Up on melancholy hill
    There's a plastic tree
    Are you here with me?
    Just looking out on the day of another dream
    Well, you can't get what you want but you can get me
    So let's set out to sea, love
    'Cause you are my medicine
    When you're close to me
    When you're close to me
    So call in the submarine
    'Round the world we'll go
    Does anybody know her?
    If we're looking out on the day of another dream
    If you can't get what you want then you come with me
    Up on melancholy hill sits a manatee
    Just looking out for the day
    When you're close to me
    When you're close to me
    When you're close to me

    its 2 in the morning and my head hurts from crying over this song. i really dont know what's compelling me to do this, but i feel the need to vent here to justify why i'm bawling my eyes out over this in particular. its most definitely because of my best friend julie, who i hope to fuck isn't reading this embarrassing mess right now, who put this as the very first song in the playlist we both share together, and still do. she doesn't live with me anymore, and i think listening to this really made that realization hit me again.
    i met her when we were both 12 years old, before either of us even knew about that fact, playing team fortress 2. my step-father came into my life a year after, and i had an entire highschool of abuse to look forward to; she was constantly my best friend throughout that entire thing. both of us were faking our identities online trying to rationalize how we felt about who we were, and she came out to me when we were both about 16. my deepest regret is not doing the same to her that day. i only came out to her when i was about to graduate, and she still promised me to get a place together. i ran away from home, using my work money to hold out and pay for a plane ticket down there by october 2nd of last year, the best day of my life.
    i missed the second flight on the 1st, staying up all night to catch the first one next morning. when she picked me up, i swear i cried for twenty minutes as she started the nearly six hour drive down to our new home, first taking me to dauphin island right off the coast of alabama. she loved the sea, and she used to work at a sea lab there, which is why im sure she loved this entire album. that day was the first time i ever saw the ocean. i didn't sleep at all for well over a day, but i never felt better. not even a year passed before we had to separate because of covid shit completely fucking up all of our plans; we still talk, but listening to this again makes me feel like i won't get another chance like that ever again; that i fucked up somewhere and here i am. i hope that isn't true.
    i love you, sis. apologies to anybody that's made it this far in this post; i hope y'all are doing better.

      Well that's good to know haha, but you'll find the one as soon as the timing is lined up how it's supposed to be. Best of luck

    If I could send music through time, I would add this song to my 'Emergency' mix tape for my fifth grade graduation.
    I was moving from the school building my love interest went to.

    Up on melancholy hill
    There's a plastic tree
    Are you here with me
    Just looking out on the day
    Of another dream
    Well you can't get what you want
    But you can get me
    So let's set out to sea
    'Cause you are my medicine
    When you're close to me
    When you're close to me
    So call in the submarines
    'Round the world will go
    Does anybody know her
    If we're looking out on the day
    Of another dream
    If you can't get what you want
    Then you come with me
    Up on melancholy hill
    Sits a manatee
    Just looking out for the day
    When you're close to me
    When you're close to me
    When you're close to me

    "Well, you can't get what you want but you can get me" used to sound so sweet when he sang it but now it's all bitter because I know that I can't even get him anymore because he decided to leave.
