cold - the day seattle died

you know, i've had this song on my computer for the longest time. i love it, adore it, listen to it all the time.
yet it's just now that i realized it's a tribute to kurt cobain. (i also noticed cobain mentioned in an our lady peace song... i really need to start listening to lyrics more closely.) anywho, there i was, just sitting nice and quiet wrapping presents when i noticed "the needle became your queen, the drug had become your enemy, and music was just a way for you to bleed" followed by a line in the chorus "we could all feel the shotgun hit the floor". and this was when i realized - the day seattle died. DUH! the song gave me chills before... now it's just plain spectacular. (oxymoron.) so here's the lyrics for all of you out there, and go download it if at all humanly possible.

Turn all the lights down low
Trying to fade your apathy
Made up a world where you can’t even be you
Star in a tragedy
Shattered voice on an open chord
They line up around the world just to hear you scream

Blown away by fame
We could all feel the shotgun hit the floor
Never mind in faith
If you can't believe

Drowning in misery
The nightmare began when you closed the door
You sat in your angry chair and just tried to be you
The needle became your queen
The drug had become your enemy
And music was just a way for you to bleed

Blown away by fame
We could all feel the shotgun hit the floor
Never mind in faith
If you can't believe

Blown away by fame
We could all feel the shotgun hit the floor
Never mind in faith
If you can't believe
and you won't believe
and he can't believe
