Definitely my favorite song on the album. I like where this band is going, I honestly do, but I just wish more songs were like this (with a somewhat distinctive melody) than the pure synth-psychadelic noise and Andrew's muffled vocals hidden in the background. I'd like to hear more of him, the straining high voice and the rusty low notes. It's sexy.

To me, this song is simple: He doesn't care girlfriends right now. He thinks of them as always being there. He wants to be free, but it seems that someone stops him once he is. And when he's free, he wants to tend to what's missing and try not to fill it with a girlfriend.

This song is actually very deep and rings very true. The bartender admits to Andrew that even the best girlfriends weren't really his best. So what's the point to have one right now, when there are so many always around!
