this song is PURE genious. i wish more people would listen to it...i think they might find what theyve been looking for!

it mixes the old folkish sound with the new "emo sound" and the outcome is one of a kind.

this song talks about two unfortunate men - one who is too short and one who is too tall. the narrator is feeling very down, which is why the men gave him some advice. when they talk to him, he realizes that he has it better off than most people - "ill look on the brightside, im roughly six feet tall" when he comes to this peace of mind, he decides he doesnt need to answer or read any "letters" to make himself feel better because he is alright now. i think this song is about a girl who broke his heart and he needs a reminder that he has it good anyways....thoughts?

IM HOOKED ON THIS SONG!
