This song reminds me of this quote I found somewhere... I think from a blurb about some of his music on NPR:
"What's so wonderful about
this music, and so rare now,
is that those musicians
would play each note like it
was, you know, the last note
they would ever get to play."
-- Andrew Bird
And, I dunno, it's just sort of like if you take something really simple and stupid, such as the "Happy Birthday" song and sing it with all your heart and soul- like it was your last day- it suddenly becomes extremely beautiful and meaningful.
