Now that's what i call a post. I agree. There's a whole lot of "moving on" going on here, and that will be going on after, but to me, that's even more heartbreaking. She knows what she's going to do, she knows why, and she knows why it's a terrible thing to do, but damnit...it's her Johnny, and sorry Charlie, but i gots to go. And what can Charlie do? He didn't even have a chance. It was gone the minute it was there, never his to begin with, and he just didn't know it and wasn't even able to mount a defense. She's just gone.
Also agreed, its his command of language that truly sets the song apart. The whole verse about her watching the leaf through the window is perhaps my favorite. Perfect writing, perfectly sang.
Glove compartment! Of course....it's like looking at an image you can't make out until someone points it.
out and then you can't NOT see it after. How did i hear club compartment? I'll be honest, it made no sense when i typed it and i didn't even know what it meant. But, duh, retardo, in his truck, theres a lease in the glove compartment....pardon me,....i'm just an idiot. haha.
Enjoyed the quotations. Good stuff. And yes, Dylan and Cohen are both geniuses. Quite fond of Nick Cave and Tom Waits as well in the songwriting department.
