    My boyfriend and I at the time used to listen to this religiously. His named happened to be Jonathan. He passed away about 2 years ago and I still remember his voice following these lyrics to this day. I'll always love him.

    I found this album when I was getting out of a relationship with an alcoholic and abuser, just sorta discovering myself and starting to rebuild a sense of independence to stand up for myself. I remember listening to this on a loop on my birthday that year, thinking about how many years of my life I'd wasted doing drugs with people who didn't treat me right, how I even had a few years on the song's Johnny. It's been a while, but I'm proud to say I got free.

    I might be the only one but the way I like to listen to this song is to perceive it as an autobiographical song, my younger more brighter self wishing happy birthday to the older version of me whenever I have a birthday. Pointing out all the lost opportunities i had through my life, all the happy moments me and him shared, where I've been and what I've lost...

    This song wrecks me. My little brother, John, (I called him Johnny when we were kids) died last year of an accidental overdose. He was 23. I hadn't talked to him since the year before his death. I tried to help him with his addiction, but he kept going back to old habits. I didn't have much money to give, but he started stealing from me, again, and I couldn't help him anymore.
    I can only assume who the Johnny is in this song and the situation behind it. But the lyrics speak so much to me about the Johnny I lost. The last line especially.
    "Of course, I blame me. When you get free, Johnny, I hope you find peace."

      My 48 YO [older] brother is on that doorstep RN, and I always think of this song when I've more/less thrown my hands up and don't know what to do. Bipolar disorder in combination w/ meth addiction in the Pacific NW in conjunction w/ facing numerous minor -> not-so-minor criminal charges, places him in a very desperate space, despite being clean [in theory] for a few months]. I'm not a believer, but I pray to whatever powers that be, that when he's eventually cornered, he's cornered by the right sort of individual that knows how to gently coerce him into the long-term treatment he's been so sorely lacking and fighting the last 25 years. Hopefully that happens before he's loose again for too long.

      I sent this track to my family trying to send a message about my older brother on his birthday / [a month prior to the new year rolling around], but they were too caught up in family shenanigans to pay any attention. He's in much worse shape now just 7 months later, and my bedroom and belongings got turned upside-down like you wouldn't believe. And now his options are either long-term inpatient care, or long-term behind bars. It's funny, nowadays they'll listen to just about anything I send them, but not when I really needed them to.

    Lyrics:
    Remember one Christmas I gave you Jim Carroll
    Intended it as a cautionary tale
    You said you saw yourself inside there
    Docketed like a two manual
    Remember one summer we walked in Times Square
    I showed you the zombies with hundred-inch stares
    You took a big, set your hotel on fire
    We took the blame, took the bags to the train
    Happy Birthday, Johnny
    Wherever you are
    Happy Birthday, Johnny
    Wherever you are
    The last time you called it was on New Years' Eve
    You asked me for dough to get somethin' to eat
    Since we last spoke, you live on the street
    Yeah, I wouldn't believe all the shit that you've seen
    Happy New Year, Johnny
    Is it 23?
    Happy New Year, Johnny
    Are the lights on the trees?
    When I said, "let me think, " and you yelled through your teeth
    Accused me of actin' like all royalty
    Always for show, no true charity
    You saw me on magazines and TV
    But they only knew the real version of me
    Only you know the secrets, the swamp, and the fear
    What happened to blood, our family?
    Annie, how could you do this to me?
    Of course, I blame me
    When you get free, Johnny
    I hope you find peace

      A friend of Annie's who went through a very dark path after substance abuse, he is, or was, an on and off sort of person in her life and her friend group, often messing their lives as they tried to help him. I believe this is the third song she wrote about him
