Red Rover

"Don't let her grow up like her mother
Heart so unconvinced
In a world so undiscovered
Asking for forgiveness
Not knowing how to forgive"

I wrote an essay about the music video for this once. I don't remember what I said... but it's true. So there. I love Rosie Thomas because she totally breaks my heart. I think one of my first blogs on here was one of her songs. This one is sung with her brother and I would like to think that it is very intimate but it's hard to know whether it's written from personal experience or not. Either way, it is another classic heartbreaking Rosie Thomas song. I adore Wedding Day too but I couldn't find that one! I think it's the idea of sadness within this twee picture that makes it so tragic.
I am reminded of One Hour Photo; the way Sy is hit by the tragedy of finding dysfunction in something that seems so perfect.
