Aug. 5th, 2020 09:38 am19. A song that makes you think about life
Suzanne Vega - The Queen and the Soldier
A song about the most horrible thing known to man: our own conscience, and the things we'll feed it to keep it quiet. I happen to believe a lot of the shit we go (and put others) through is due to our need to sleep peacefully at night teaching us to justify just about anything. I wrote a fic loosely based on this that's still one of my favourites, but the song is a beautifully contained little story in itself.
