Lyrics:

Here I lie, in a lost and lonely part of town

Held in time, in a world of tears I slowly drown

Goin' home, I just can't make it all alone

I really should be holding you, holding you

Loving you, loving you

Tragedy

When the feeling's gone and you can't go on

It's tragedy

When the morning cries and you don't know why

It's hard to bear

With no-one to love you, you're goin' nowhere

Tragedy

When you lose control and you got no soul

It's tragedy

When the morning cries and you don't know why

It's hard to bear

With no-one beside you, you're goin' nowhere

Night and day, there's a burning down inside of me

Oh, oh

Burning love, with a yearning that won't let me be

Down I go and I just can't take it all alone

I really should be holding you, holding you

Loving you, loving you

Tragedy

When the feeling's gone and you can't go on

It's tragedy

When the morning cries and you don't know why

It's hard to bear

With no-one to love you, you're goin' nowhere

Tragedy

When you lose control and you got no soul

It's tragedy

When the morning cries and you don't know why

It's hard to bear

With no-one beside you, you're goin' nowhere

Aaah

Tragedy

When the feeling's gone and you can't go on

It's tragedy

When the morning cries and you don't know why

It's hard to bear

With no-one to love you, you're goin' nowhere

Ah, ah

Tragedy

When you lose control and you got no soul

It's tragedy

When the morning cries and your heart just dies

It's hard to bear

With no-one beside you, you're goin' nowhere

Ahh!

Tragedy

When the feeling's gone and you can't go on

It's tragedy

When the morning cries and you don't know why

It's hard to bear

With no-one to love you you're goin' nowhere

Ahh

Tragedy

When you lose control and you got no soul

It's tragedy

When the morning cries and your heart just dies

It's hard to bear

With no-one beside you, you're goin' nowhere

Ahh!

Tragedy

When the feeling's gone and you can't go on

It's tragedy

When the morning cries and you don't know why

It's hard to bear

With no-one to love you, you're goin' nowhere

One time I read a post that talked about how tragedies were supposed to be cathartic, and honestly I didn't fully understand the concept. But I been thinking about it ever since,and I think I do now.

The reason tragedy is cathartic,is because tragedy is not all sadness. If you write your characters in sad or violent situations just because,then there is no payoff.

Sadness,true sadness involves rage. It involves being angry at your situation, and most of the time, it also involves loneliness.

That's why tragedy is cathartic,because in real life we aren't allowed to feel angry. Unless the grief and sadness involves a close person passing,or maybe collective mourning for a really big group of people, we are not allowed to get angry at our sadness.

I mean how many times are we told to just deal with it, that other people have it worse, that it isn't a big deal. How many times are we told that our sadness,or worse, our depression,Is an exaggeration.

In real life we aren't allowed to be angry,but when we read or watch a tragic story, we are.

That's why good tragedies always have a "breaking point", a moment when, even for a short time, the characters and by extension the reader, are allowed to be angry.

And it's in that anger, momentarily, that we became able to heal.

The resurrection is the purpose for which you were created by God and redeemed in Christ! It is a tragedy that many Christians do not have a firm grasp on this wonderful truth.

Christiane Amanpour's tribute to Marie Colvin

Right, Julia Holter doesn't need much introduction (having been featured here here and here, just to name a few).

But everytime I listen to this song I think of the Ekstasis of Saint Theresa, and I think it may have been just like this.

Julia Holter's new album Ekstasis is out now on RVNG INTL.

ps: yes, this song featured already in her first album, Tragedy, but I personally find this more of a mature version of the song, in which the voice and harmonies blossom to their full potential (though the differences are almost imperceptible)
