Pop quiz, hotshots.

OK, I need help.

I've been desperately trying to think of a song about a girl who is any one or more of the following

sad
lonely
mad
psychotic
in need of someone to care for her

It needs to have some sort of emotional trauma element to it.

It also needs to be dramatic, powerful. It can be gentle but it needs some moments of excalmation. Think Come Undone by Duran Duran but with balls.


Other themes that may inspire song choice are: birthday, locked away (metaphorically), broken childhood. Also, it would help if it's sung from a man's perspective (watching her) but that's a bonus rather than a necessity.

I'm certain there's loads of good songs with this sort of theme, but I'll be darned if I can think of any. Best song idea gets a cookie.

First song that cam to my mind is "Carrying Cathy" by Ben Folds off Rockin' the Suburbs. Akimbo dislikes the song, but I think it's really good. CD is in the car, and I don't feel like getting it at the moment, nap time, but maybe later if you still haven't heard it all go get it.

You could probably find a bunch of other ben folds songs in that area too. Though, some of his songs can be really discriptive making amv's hard to make.

the Carrying Cathy lyrics look good, but they get a little too specific at the end. I like the picture image though, it works well for one particular part of the source footage.

Thanks for the tip!

This is off topic, but for the longest time I thought Ben's song Losing Lisa was LOSER Lisa. One of my roommates at the time was named Lisa, so I always skipped over the song because I didn't want her to think that I thought she was a loser. Um, yeah.
