Cover art for April 8th lyrics by Neutral Milk Hotel

This is weird. I've been a fan of NMH for a couple years, and I just decided to playlist.com some of their songs, and listened to this song for the first time ever, on April 8th. (Technically April 9th because it's 2am.) But it's also weird because I'm in bed wrapped in covers, watching late night tv and nobody else is up, I'm alone, and it has been raining all night and I can hear it tapping. I love this song.
