Oh, this was truly wonderful. God, it had such vibrant details about Lupin's life, how he spoke -- his heartache for losing his lover. I'm listening to the song right now, and combined with the story, I'm tearing up. There was so much pain in the way Lupin danced, how he spoke of Sirius, God. I really, really loved it.

The idea that he tells his story to this stranger while sitting in a jail cell totally just breaks me. To think Lupin has been alone for twenty years, going through the US, poor and aching for his friend. Wow. Then when he was harassed for being with Sirius. Just so right, so true. I really love this, have I said that already?

I imagine Lupin sounding a bit like Bob Dylan, his voice harsh but still musical and endearing. This really affected me. Thank you so, so much!
