The experience of having a near death experience. Andrew Bird does not disappoint.
Really good instrumental music and very clever lyrics. To me, the song is this mostly bitter and yet somewhat sweet reflection on our value of life.The recklessness that people have, the urge to challenge life, living on the edge and so on (the need to experience a near death experience)...I think maybe the beginning part is about how life might have seemed simpler in the past?
Great line, sinks in real well I think:
"And we'll dance like cancer survivors -
like we're grateful simply to be alive."
