Life Is Grand Lyrics
And life is grand.
And I will say this at the risk of falling from favor
with those of you
who have appointed yourselves to expect us to say
something darker.
And love is real.
And though I realize this is not a deep observation
to those of you
who find it necessary to conceal love
or obscure it as is the fashion.
And life is grand.
And I will say this at the risk of falling from favor
with those of you
who have appointed yourselves to expect us to say
something darker.
And I will say this at the risk of falling from favor
with those of you
who have appointed yourselves to expect us to say
something darker.
And though I realize this is not a deep observation
to those of you
who find it necessary to conceal love
or obscure it as is the fashion.
And I will say this at the risk of falling from favor
with those of you
who have appointed yourselves to expect us to say
something darker.

The theme of 80's counterculture was 100% cynicism. For someone like David Lowery to give a purely positivevand upbeat message was subversive in it's own strange way. I read the song as a tongue-in-cheek mocking of the self-seriousness of cynical elites. It's actually a very funny song.
Damn good song that closes out a classic album. I take it at face value.
