Cover art for 85 lyrics by Rilo Kiley

People seem to think that because Jenny is singing this, then it is sung from a woman's perspective. Or even that she wrote it, or that it is from her own personal experience. We all clearly know that this song is about love gone sour, but I think it's a story of a man. And since anyone can tell a story, Jenny is doing so. Besides, if '85 was their best year, it's clearly not about Jenny Lewis lol. Don't interpret everything so literally.
