I love the irony of saying, "happy birthday," which is supposed to be a celebration of life, but often becomes an unfortunate reminder of a ticking clock as we get older. Repeating this in a carpe diem versus carpe-diem-because-you're-going-to-die, fraught with irony, i am quite pleased. I love Andrew Bird because his songs seem to present these quandaries for us to think about, without really offering too much of an explanation. Just a coping mechanism: music.
