    'Le symbolique' is definitely not getting enough hype guys.. The transition from that to Let Me Down Easy was one of the best things that's ever happened to me, like it was absolutely IMMACULATE - if you haven't listened to the entire album yet you HAVE to check it out, trust me.

    This song makes me want to fall in love with my best friend and go on a road trip in a big red pickup truck and drive on a completely empty road in the middle of a dessert somewhere screaming this song at the top of our lungs with the wind blowing in our hair
    Oddly specific, I know. But that’s the feeling I get, yet I’ve never experienced this feeling.

    You want someone who wants you for who you are
    I want someone to try, then let me down easy, easy tonight
    Easy, easy tonight
    Honey, it’s no secret that with matters of the heart
    Unreserved, I’m irrational and rarely ever start
    But since the world’s dark and often inhumane
    Relish our condition, come drinking in the rain
    ‘Cause you remember when, after Paris
    We all decided the best way to fight it was
    Drink wine, dance here and pray
    And make love that lasts with avengeance
    So you can join the cowards all aboard the outrage train
    You can stay afraid, or slit the throat of fear and be brave
    And scratch the little itch
    'Til you’re moving like a motherfucker up in this bitch
    You wanted to fight for a cause
    Then go out and fall in love
    Don’t stop, don’t stop believing
    In truth and grace in the grievance
    You want someone who wants you for who you are
    I want someone to try, or let me down easy, easy tonight
    Easy, easy tonight
    So look at me and tell me what I already know
    That I trialed and I failed and it’s good to let it go
    Sometimes life sucks, everything is lame
    Not everything’s as easy as making lemonade
    And so dismembering our state of balance
    With lust requited, a gaze undivided
    With a cool mind and warmth in your face
    A good heart, a grace under pressure
    You give me a good reason to be heartsick again
    To be here, to be strong, to be oddly and boldly estranged
    From the loss and bitter years
    I found myself descending into tedium and fear
    You wanted to fight for a cause
    Then go out and fall in love
    Don’t stop, don’t stop believing
    In truth and grace in the grievance
    You want someone who wants you for who you are
    I want someone to try, then let me down easy, easy tonight
    Easy, easy tonight
    If it’s late, you’re drunk and wanting
    A reason, some reason to live
    I always, I always say
    Just put on some Whitesnake
    Honey, it’s no secret that I’ve been losing my way
    In the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways
    But hey, I’m still young and it’s gonna be okay
    I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade
    I’ll surrender then, all my balance
    And be excited and drink to tonight
    It’s not a, a bad time, time spent with you
    There’s cool lights and songs with good lyrics
    We never have to talk again, whatever, up to you
    But since you’re putting up with me
    Here’s another toast just to you
    Let’s dance, off the beat
    Then mosey out together and say goodbye on the street
    You wanted to fight for a cause
    Then go out and love someone
    Don’t stop, don’t stop believing
    In truth and personal freedom
    I want someone to want me for who I am
    I want someone to try, or let me down easy, easy tonight
    Easy, easy tonight
    Easy, easy tonight
    Easy, easy tonight
    Easy, easy tonight
    Easy, easy tonight

I don't think Triple J bother trying to stop one or two Fanatics from voting a couple of thousand times.... They had a small group of individuals that will determine to vote for "Love Will Tear Us Apart" early on and the level of the song I didn't feel that needed to be voted in every time and ring up and suggested that they take it out of the running

    Never heard this song until yesterday. Immediately put it to a play list. It starts just like a St. Vincent song, which lead me to hear his vocals as a male St. Vincent. No disrespect meant. Thanks triple J for the exposure yet again to talent!

    Pretty obsessed with them after seeing them at Shaky Knees this year. This song is soo good. His stage presence is incredible. Music is healing.
