Jogging Gorgeous Summer

I feel like this song is very out of place on the album because of its happiness and what not... This album is mostly about life after death and the demise of humans and ect...

So the only sense I can make out of this song being on this album where they're telling a story would be if this is part of the afterlife. Now that he's dead and the girl he loves is dead, perhaps they can do all those romantic things that they coudlnt' do in life. Wake up everyday next to eachother and go swimming off the coast of some tropical paradise.

Now that they're together in the afterlife "[they] can do anything [they] want to" because there are no limits anymore. They don't have to worry about problems because they are dead.

Ofcourse I may be completely wrong, and probably am, but it's just a theory to make it fit with the rest of the album.

i'm thinking it's "swim to the biggest flower there. to run with you & kiss you, my love."

it's actually "swim to the biggest flower there. / pick up one for you and kiss you my love"

that's what they sang in concert and that's what its posted as in the secret unicorns forum

Corrections, from liner notes:

a. swim to the biggest flower bed pick one for you and kiss you my love

b. that's* when the storm clouds dissolved into thin air ... dogs bark long days not dark

c. we took a long walk into the woods Climbing the world's biggest tree

d. we* creeped out into the sun

lovelovelove this.

my favorite thing about the islands is that they sound like islands. tropical, that is. this song makes me wish i was at the beach.

sharkswithknives, you took the words right out of my mouth. or rather, my keyboard. :]

Woke up with rain on my head / I can’t dry off so what should I do instead? Swim to the biggest flower bed / Pick one for you and kiss you my love

So when the storm clouds dissolved into thin air / Like when my hands got lost in your thick hair Dogs bark, long days, not dark / The sky’s blue so what should we do? We can do anything we want to

Millions of sunsets but the one I'll remember Is the one where you told me you’ll love me forever

Took a long walk into the woods / Climbing the world’s biggest tree And then they tried to cut it down / But we didn’t make a sound The sun blinded them, they couldn’t see

Woke up next to you in your bed / Another day to do it all again Creeped out into the sun / Another day to give you all my love

Millions of sunsets but the one I remember Is the one where you told me you’d love me forever

i love this song. so uplifting and happy. cheers me up.

I was reading a interview with Nick when Pitchfork interviewed him, and he said how he got the name of the song when he went back to visit the house he grew up in, and he discovered these words carved in his sisters room. This song is very pretty, and shows a lot of love. My only problem with tis, is that it is completely unrealistic, no relationship is made up of this, yes there are moments, but this is way to fantasized and romanticized.
