To me this is the quintessential Weakerthans song. It has that kind of depressed yet optimistic feeling that captivates me so much. This is not the kind of brain dead and meaningless teenage “angst” gushing out of top 10 bands like linkin park. It is the kind of feeling that comes from an intellectual contemplation of the meaning of life. The Weakerthans aren’t pandering to pimple faced 14 yearolds who are want to piss off their parents, their speaking to twenty-something intellectuals and contemplative types who are stuck in a rut in small town America (or Canada).
