Great song. When I saw him in Westport, CT a couple years ago, he introduced it as the song he wrote to explain to his mother why he decided to pursue a career in music instead of neuroscience at Oberlin College. He also changed the verses a bit, improvising new lyrics, especially in the acronyms explaining the non-stick frying pan. Magical.
The message I take from this song is this: While everything has a scientific explanation, none of it matters without the person you love.
