jonathan safran-foer is one of my favourite writers. "Everything is illuminated" is my all time favourite novel. but i never connected it to this song. interesting.
the chorus is such a downer. it's brilliant! but it's so true, and it makes me sad. love is like a dirty whore.
i really like the cycle, how he was greedy for gold and pearls, then he was saved by the neighbour's daughter, who then leaves and falls in love with someone else (she robbed a thief like me). that's what i always thought of when i listened to this song.
