Cover art for I ll Never Be Happy Again lyrics by Eleanor Friedberger

at first i thought this was a sad song - and it is, in a way, but i think its looking at the concept of love as this be all / end all emotion. once its reached there is nowhere to go. "since ive met you i'll never be happy again" because you've reached peaked happiness. "after affection its all downhill" - after, or beyond love, what is there?
