I've mentioned this person before, posted a link to a song called "Not Perfect" which is a beautiful song, I love it, and it really made me think. I had tears in my eyes and everything.
You know in films, once something bad has happened, you have clips of the person who the bad things have happened to - the main character probably - and then they have a song playing over the top of the clips of them going about their life when everything is just heartbreaking, sad and they're just having the worst time?
Well, right now, I feel like that person, that character in the films. Nothing extraordinarily bad has happened to me, in fact, not many bad things have happened and if they have they've been minor things, but I still feel like that person at the moment.
The song I'd have playing over the top, though it might not be completely appropriate, it sort of is and it would be if the main character was having a love crisis, is called "Drowned" by Tim Minchin.

Tim Minchin is actually a comedian / singer / songwriter, but a few of his songs are really touching, maybe kind of sad, fairly slow songs that have a lot of meaning and I think are absolutely beautiful. Although they still have bits of humour in to make you laugh, they can make you sad at the same time because they absorb you and you start believing they're completely true.
His songs are about things he thinks about, love, religion, sex, inflatable dolls... You should listen to him! I'd recommend him to any person in the world, there is a song for everyone. He is so talented.
I know I'm going on about how wonderful he is but I just think he is amazing. His stuff means quite a lot to me at this point in my life and I think everyone should listen to him.
So, Tim Minchin everybody!
