GuiltLOCATION: dorms , Gambier, OHYEAR: 2003TAGS: friends, guilt, sadnessPUBLISHED: February 25, 2008I love this song. I think it's beautiful. I like the sound and I like the lyrics. It sounds like heartbreak. It is the kind of powerful song that makes you want to cry just by listening to it. I have a great deal of respect for it. And the word "Pitseleh" sounds like love, fondness, and care. To hurt someone that you care about so breaks your heart. When I inadvertantly hurt a friend's fragile feelings deeply, it seemed only fitting that I would listen to "Pitseleh." I wanted to tell my friend that this was exactly how I felt. I was so angry, I didn't know if it would ever pass. And, most importantly, I wanted to tell her, "I never meant to hurt you." The song is beautiful and I related to it that year, but the more I listened to it, the more it seemed like my feelings of guilt were spiraling out of control. It seeemed to just say, over and over again, that I had done something wrong, that I had hurt an angel, my "Pitseleh." Eventually I had to stop listening to it, and I still can't listen to it much, without sadness welling up in my heart.Â
