Last Night On Earth Again pt. 2

As promised more reflection on some Over the Rhine tunes. "I put my soul up for sale/And the whole world asked,/Could you take any less?" Isn't this what happens so many times when we offer our souls, our deepest, darkest secrets, our hopes, dreams, ambitions, and idiosyncrasies to the world? We think to ourselves, "I will make myself vulnerable and open." Unfortunately, we end up discouraged and wounded because the world, even the people closest to us, reject our offer and cheapen our very existence and worth.
