After all is said and done I feel the same

Warming his hands, a thousand years ago

Your Musical Thought of the Day 5/12

All sweetly sung and succinctly stated
words and music he calculated
to make you sing along
with your stereo on, as you stand in your shorts on your lawn
get completely incorporated by some couple who consummated
their first love by the dawn
a falling star wished upon
that flashed in the sky and was gone

---Okkervil River, "Pop Lie"

What went wrong?

---Billy Joel, Captain Jack
