Why? I personally prefer the maple leaves thing. The mark e smith line sounds funny but the idea of replacing the word make believe with just this calming innocuous symbol is like superior imo.

I'll lose my mind completely. Madness will finally defeat me. The lyrics give me chills, in a sad & happy way because it's a story of a lad who fell for a girl who was too insecure to love him back/be comfortable in her own skin but at least he got to experience those precious moments with her anyhow. Le sigh.

I like how Jens dismisses this as a ‘lazy Avalanches ripoff.’ This is one of my favorite songs ever; I love Avalanches but this song reaches a level of beautiful melancholy that transcends not only music, but space and time as well. Pure masterwork. This song could be sent into space to show any potential life out there the heights of perfection that human art has achieved.
