Goodbye Mr Blue - a beautiful song about losing a pet (and a love), kinda wrecks me but it's so good

Father John Misty, released in 2022

This may be the last time
Last time I put on my shoes
Go down to the corner
And buy the damn cat the expensive food

That Turkish Angora's 'bout the only thing left of me and you
Early this morning, it started making sounds that say
"Don't the last time come too soon?
One down, eight to go, but it's no less true
Don't the last time come too soon?"

This may be the last time
Last time I get out of bed
Put coffee on and try, in your words
"To show some initiative"

We used to lay around here laughing
At what these freaks out there were trying to prove
But what's wasting time if not throwing it away on work
When the last time comes so soon?

Mr. Blue died in my arms, nothing they could do
Don't the last time come too soon?

Love's always gonna leave ya
No matter what they say
You only know what it is once it's gone away

This may be the last time
The last time I lay here with you

Do you swear it's not the cat?
You don't have to answer that
I'll just make do
But maybe if he'd gone sooner
Could've brought us back together last June

When the last time was our last time
If only then I knew

1. heart-breaking... Reminds me of...

I can't tell you how many tears that one brings (Shannon was a dog lost to drowning)

2. I have to change the station

It is beautiful, but every time I hear the opening notes, I change the radio station. Hits way too close to home. Maybe after some time passes, I will be able to listen and appreciate.

3. Consider yourself lucky you actually have a radio station that would play this song

No station in Phoenix would play anything this obscure, at least not that I've ever found.

Anyways, yeah, it's pretty crushing. But maybe I have a masochist streak, I like songs that punch me in the heart ... some of my faves are gloomy old songs by The Smiths and The Cure

4. 97.7 WEXT

Yes, it is a GREAT radio station. They play amazing music. The DJ commentary is annoying, but other than that.....

Could you stream 97.7? It's out of Amsterdam, NY.

My brother lived in Phoenix for years and just moved to Anthem. My father is in Phoenix and an uncle in Mayer.
