Cover art for Mulholland Drive lyrics by Gaslight Anthem, The

In an album which is a sum of disparate parts, this is most definitely the direction to choose for future inspiration.

I love the lyrics. I love all the unanswered questions. I love the guitar at the very end.

From the very first line, "do you remember dreams?" he knows he asking about her first love and not the stupid replacement she has now. He thinks the former could be him. The swagger of the music justifies his line of questioning.

I'm also a sucker for a repetitious phrase, especially if it takes a twist in the final chorus. The intonation and rhythm of Brian's voice during "if you ever took your love away" is painfully truthful and becomes simply gut-wrenching.

"The mist on Mulholland" adds a touch of personal atmospherics that contribute to the gray, gray, gray, fucking imagery (it's in the title, after all).

It's currently my second favorite song on the album. "Teenage Rebellion" is just too incredible for words right now. I need more time to reflect on that one.
