I titled this piece after a lyric from a Regina Spektor song. During my semester studying abroad in Italy, I explored the vast realm of human emotion by using expressive brushstrokes, hot colors, and intense facial expressions. The title is calming in contrast to such a highly charged subject, because all people experience these emotions. The person in this painting isn't weird or crazy. The title invites the viewer to reject any negative feelings about the subject matter and be reminded of a time when he or she experienced these same emotions. It is meant to provoke compassion.
