csberryIt took much gnashing of teeth to think of a song to fit and then took myself a while to decide to be open and share the song and the reason why it makes me feel guilty. There isn't anything about the song itself that makes me feel guilty, it is how I once used it.
There was a woman (who shall go unnamed) that I had become every emotionally attached to in college. As someone with a certain flair for Hollywood-dramatic gestures, when I left her apartment upset about how our relationship was going...my brain dialed up the appropriate teen movie reference. I hopped in my car and blared Peter Gabriel's "Blood of Eden" (since I had my cassette of Us in the car) outside her bedroom window that faced the parking lot. About half way through the song, she came out, told me to turn off the damned music, and come back inside. Yes, it was a horribly sappy and contrived thing to do. I feel guilty and embarrassed for doing it and forcing her into that scenario. Although I really think Us is a great album, I rarely listen to it because my whole body just cringes when I get to "Blood of Eden" (which, admittedly, is a beautiful song).
