You Got A Heavy Heart And A Sad, Sad Song

Telekinesis “I Cannot Love You”

When this song begins, the angst and drama is already over. It’s all verdict, no deliberation: “I cannot love, I cannot love you.” The music carries some leftover negative emotion, but the vocals mostly convey the relief of finally coming to a firm conclusion and the eagerness to move on from a painful romantic mess. It’s not emphatic or mean spirited, just clear-headed and self-respecting. It’s even better that this song is a tightly-constructed two minute rocker — this is the kind of thing you need to say quickly and economically and then shut up.
