I don't often cry at things, I mean sure, there was that time when I bawled so deeply while watching The Color Purple that I threw up, but other than that, I can count on both hands the times that tears spilled over my eyelids from deeply felt emotions.
And Dog by songstress Nat Johnson is one of them.
One part animated love story about a dog and one part music video for a song about a dog. That's all it took for me to lose my shit. More than likely I'm in the beginning stages of PMS and was far more susceptible to the beauty of a song about a dog...while I was staring into the deep brown pool of my own dog's eyes...so perhaps I'm overreacting, but I don't think so.
Sometimes, in this auto-tuned mecca of slutty pop star song whores (and I'm including all the dudes in that description as well), it's just nice to hear a song that isn't about Gettin' Money, Makin' Money, Drinking Dom Perignon or Sexin' Some Person, but about something as universal as the all-consuming pet love we have for the little (or big) poop factories that may mess up our house, but always loves us unconditionally.
I'm tearing up just thinking about it now.
I fucking love my dog (sniff).
