Cover art for Heartbreaker lyrics by Walkmen, The

this is probably the sweetest, most self-assured song i've ever heard a man sing to his lover/partner. the funny part is, it could be that he knows her/him so well, or that he's just so good at what he does, that it could be a song from him to a potential mate. either way, he's not worried about hurting this person at all, and has no problem stating frankly, "i'm not your heartbreaker"

also, he educates the subject in the song that although many of his songs are grim and dark, even restless, that's "it's not the singer, it's the song". great stuff.
