Song title: A Dedication
Artist: Washed Out
Year: 2011
Why I like this song:
While we're on the topic of playing catch up, I did obtain Washed Out's first album. Five years two late I know but bare with me.
In this case however, the length of time it took to get here was a virtue. For the album itself is pretty good but the best moment comes at the end. Because said song, shown above, spoke to me in the terms of experience,
For me, this song spoke of drifting apart from one's romantic partner. True there are no shortage of songs attacking former lovers but I hold this song as unique as it doesn't take the attack approach: Instead, it is more about realisation and deciding to move on. And whilst it may be painful there is still the sense that the person leaving will look back on the relationship with a fond eye and be glad that it happened.
A situation I have lived through and no doubt many others have as well.
