Man, I've always loved this song, but after experiencing something similar just a few nights ago I feel such an emotional connection to this. Jeffrey Lewis just has this amazing ability to convey the thoughts that rattle around our minds all day in a few minutes of effortless verse in a way that's both heartbreaking and affirming. I hope I see the girl I shared this experience with again. This whole time she could've been writing a youtube comment about me, probably not, but it could be...
The whole point of a Jeffrey Lewis song isn't the musicianship or the quality of his voice, it's the story or idea he conveys. The true enjoyment of the song is the thoughts that it provokes
@dsxrampagex Seriously, man. If your idea of artistic integrity is the quality of a singer's voice and not the content of the song, go watch American Idol. The singers don't even sing their own songs, so you don't need to worry about originality either.
I truly loved it, made even better by the fact that it is on Spotify.
Voice is simply amazing.
Song amusing and reminding me about the good things in life. Like meeting someone an introducing yourself purely in mime because the music is so loud at a gig.
by far my fav jeff lewis song. this song has a very special meaning for me. i dont do too well socially, and i had this amazing 10 hour date with this fantastic wonderful girl. it didnt work out. neither of us are at fault though. so i dont have anger. but she is a massive leonard cohen fan. i discovered this after it was over. so part of me wants to show it to her, even though we dont talk. but the moral at the end makes everything really bittersweet.
@JAPrice91.. Agreed!

I sing those songs too,
and I now feel a bit less pathetic about them.
You made my day.

lyrics are terrible, barely enjoyable. and his voice is terrible, no effort or anything. some of you people need to get a taste in music.
