It's pathetic and cliched I know, but Harry Chapin's Cat's In The Cradle leaves me a wreck.


And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"



And fuck you for making me think of it again today.

Cliched? I thought it was sentimental claptrap.

he died in the comics.
IIRC, he was in a video game, he caused some in-game characters to die so he nobly committed suicide.

But then again I got a lump in my throat when I first listened to Johnny Cash's version of If You Could Read My Mind.

It's achingly beautiful.
