I confess, I largely remembered my deadly serious crack tag on account of our recent conversation, but while it's more...emo and quiet than most of my deadly serious crack which is a little more just ridiculous and yet deadly serious (if we're going to get into the vagaries of a genre I'm still not sure exists!) I do think it qualifies!

I'm so pleased that you like it and you flatter me with your compliments! :)

I totally recomment Hancock as a film - it was underrated and had a terribly misleading trailer - but I'm also pleased to know that it fit well without having seen the movie. That was one of my goals.

Glad you like the song! As you can see, this is the second of my three consecutive The National vid(let)s. Adama vid is currently under construction. ;)

I feel weirdly about this song because I love, love, love the chorus (which is what's used here) but kind dislike the rest of the song.
