David Bazan is brilliant. But the attitude on this song is one of superiority. it's like Hosea is saying, Sheesh Gomer you're such a fuckup and I'm so perfect. It's Criticism as Inspiration only he doesnt give cred in this song to the fact that the speaker's attitude is that of a jerk. The Bible story this is based on is from Hosea in the old testament, who married a prostitute named Gomer because God told him to, to represent God's steadfastness to his unfaithful people. Check out Micheal Card's "Song Of Gomer". Micheal beat David on this one.....still David's awesome.
