Cover art for The Calendar Hung Itself . . . lyrics by Bright Eyes

My god thats a terrible idea... Slow down this powerhouse of anger and tension and exploding long-bottled emotion? And Bright Eyes' best uptempo song at that? Well, while I suppose it would be interesting to hear Calendar in an alternate, slower version, I cant envision that pacified (castrated?) version ever surpassing this barreling, shambling, glorious wreck of a song ever. Ever.

I agree very much, it just wouldn't work, conor's music is about his pain, his frustration. they are packed with emotion, slowing it down would, it would, ruin it, completely. The emotions would be false. This song is perfect as it is.
