This came up on Spotify right after I witnessed an apparently heroin addicted maskless Karen go off on the gas station register girl. I tried to soften the blow for her but what can you really do?

This is a ƒucked-up earworm, but if you suffer from the malady of identifying with David Gilmour's lyrics...

Where were you?
when I was burned and broken?

While the days slipped by ...
from my window watching ...

Where were you?
when I was hurt and I was helpless?

I think I saw once that the lyrics were written by a woman

which made me feel better about the song, actually

He met a woman who took control, turned him every which way but loose, showed him the best night ever, and went home.
What possible difference who narrates.

he didn't even know her name, it's a little sad to me

i lost mine to a girl i was treasuring for 7 months, she moved her stuff into my locker as a sign of commitment

plus i strongly feel that your virginity should not be sung about in four-part harmony with three other dudes

The guy wrote it with his wife, who it was about. Originally it was about the repeal of prohibition, 1933. His wife took the song and changed up to reflect the night they met.

I've had girls tell about bringing a guy home from a club for the night and not knowing his name. Sometimes a screw is just a screw.
Losing your cherry is only important to you and Mom... and maybe your competitive buddy who has not.

As I was standing in the kitchen this morning, cooking up some eggs for an English muffin egg sandwich, I realized that this melody was going around in my head. It was not unpleasant.

I got sent back in thread-time to an earlier page and saw this. Pre-saging Covid times.
