Great ending. [Nicotine/night shading towards banishment. Opposite day language in effect. Manors v. Manners.] The swirling smoky tendrils of music at the end of the album seem beautiful to me.

Yes, very imaginative.

Yeah I think so too...and this song's ending is eerily reminiscent of Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me by U2 (and another Filipino song - "Ang Huling El Bimbo" - which is about a lady who died mysteriously). This song is really creepy, but I love it so much...I have a feeling this song is a ghost story. But then I think this is also about a woman who keeps on picking the wrong men, and still searches for the right man in the wrong ways. In that case I can f-ing relate! Ugh!

Hmm...your theory makes me want to ask questions. 1.What makes you think it's a ghost story? 2.Based on what you said, what would "playing into midnight" be and who are these boys? 3.Why are cigarettes recommended? 4.Why is she wearing blue? 5.Is "he" one of the boys or is "he" the Right man? 6.Does your mother know you're here?
