"Nobody Loves You Like Me" is a song on Jonathan Coulton's eighth studio album, Artificial Heart.

History

Live performance

This song was debuted in concert in Bristol, UK on June 9, 2011. Instead of playing guitar, Coulton performed it a cappella, using his iPhone and laptop to control vocal harmonies. A recording of the performance is available on YouTube.

Availability

"Nobody Loves You Like Me" is thus far not officially available in any medium.

Unofficially re-named by Storm to 'The Song That Will Haunt Your Mind For The Next Month' during sound check for their show at Manchester Academy 2 on 10 June 2011. Video by Cernoise (Approx 3 mins in.)

Content

This song could be sung from the perspective of a rockstar or low end celebrity with a terminal illness (Maybe the late stages of lung-cancer) singing in a bar on their last day alive. The woman he refers to could be a romantic interest or someone who has passed away previously.

Another possible interpretation of the song is that it is about divorce, apparent from various lines that imply breakup and a sense of abandonment, and especially from the verse: "I won't sign a thing, or else if I do I'll use a pencil so I can show you How nothing lasts, how nothing is free Nobody loves you like me."
