First, this is the only song that gets me teary if I just sit and listen and watch the video. It's intense.
Second, some important vocab/historical references. I love listening to Of Montreal, I learn so much. Haha.
Petrarch- Italian poet famous for his love poems
Dido- Roman Mythology, queen of Carthage who killed herself when Aeneas abandoned her.
aesthete- "One who cultivates an unusually high sensitivity to beauty, as in art or nature"
abject- miserable
Third, what it's about, I may have a clue. In the Japanese bonus track,'"Family Nouveau', it's written:
"I just had to move on and start my grown up life with you
You and me and our little Alabee
My god it happened to me
I really have my own family"
Perhaps this song is about having a baby and starting that new chapter in his life. I'm not privy to what Kevin is up to besides Of Montreal, but who knows.
If it's not that, then its whatever you want to make it; and make it, I do.
