What a depressing song. Although one might see this as Bradford writing a song about himself (and he can apparently relate to the lyrics), he wrote the song as a narrative about someone else. He stated this in a recent Pitchfork interview: " I was really afraid that song would be taken as autobiographical-- I thought it was really strange that the first lines on the record were "found money and fame," with my picture on the cover. But I wrote that as a narrative about someone else. Still, I can honestly relate to that character very much. People roll their eyes and say, "Oh god, he's not rich or famous." I say it's relative. I mean, look at me: I'm 115 pounds and I grew up without money. To me, I'm rich because I don't have to worry about paying rent. I don't think about money now."
