      this song and album are really great and have influenced many artists. the fragile and introverted harmonies can be heard in modern day indie bands such as kurt vile and the violators, girlpool et al. but to me, being a pavement fan since being a kid in the 90s, it's a hard listen and this song in particular is the band's swan song. there was a lot of internal conflicts between malkmus and spiral stairs during this time. as you might know, there's not a single spiral song on this album, which makes it feel less pavementy and slightly more pretentious than the others. not taking anything away from terror twilight, it's a great piece of well produced record. however, it's kinda saying goodbye to the whole 90s era of great rock bands. i don't think pavement were ever destined to go into the 2000s and somehow i'm glad they didn't. their legacy is so good they have nothing to prove. in my book they will always be the greatest band of the era.

    It's always interesting to me how this was the first song on the album. It feels like it should be the last, but it actually works perfectly given the context of the band and how the album plays out. They begin the album with a bittersweet and nostalgic ballad but end with a goofy and upbeat song. It reminds me of the funeral practices in certain cultures where they have a big celebration after or during the laying of the casket in the ground. Much like the passing of a person, we should celebrate the memories and greatness that came with the band and try not to be sad about it. Also, Pavement is currently touring as I'm writing this comment so that's awesome.

    However you feel,
    Whatever it takes,
    Whenever it's real,
    Whatever awaits,
    Whatever you need,
    However so slight,
    Whenever it's real,
    Whenever it's right.
    I've been thinking long and hard
    About the things you said to me,
    Like a bitter stranger,
    And now I see the long,
    The short, the middle and what's inbetween,
    I could spit on a stranger,
    (Pour/pull me out)
    You're a bitter stranger.
    (Pour me out)
    Whatever you feel,
    Whatever it takes,
    Whenever it's real,
    Whatever awaits me,
    Whatever you need,
    However so slight,
    Whenever it leads,
    Whenever it's right.
    Honey I'm a prize and you're a catch
    And we're a perfect match,
    Like two bitter strangers,
    And now I see the long,
    The short of it and I can make it last,
    I could spit on a stranger,
    (Pour me out)
    You're a bitter stranger,
    (Pour me out)
    I could spit on a stranger,
    (Pour me out)
    You're a bitter stranger.
    (Pour me out)
    I see the sunshine in your eyes,
    I'll try the things you'll never try,
    I'll be the one that leaves
    You high...high...high
