    I have not heard lyrics with such an astute and poignant observational repose around the tricky emotional subject of love since Leonard Cohen walked amongst us. At the same time, the mindspace of a person hurt and casually scorned is just rawly present as well. Beautiful melody, too. Theo's like the comprehensive designer of the millennial heart.

    Sincerely beautiful and appropriately unnerving. I really love this song Theo, there's so many "love" songs in this world and 99% of them take the same perspective on the word.
