Cover art for The Writing's on the Wall lyrics by OK Go

I love the mix of inevitability and hope in this song. They know this relationship is ending but still have love and fondness for each other. Best to go out on a good note if you have to.

BTW, if you haven't seen this video, it is NEXT LEVEL, full of trompe-l'œil and other amazing visual trickery, all in one take.
