Crazy love. Doomed love.
Jens is in that nebulous period during a breakup where they're still... not... something. He says it best when he compares his love with dry grass and a magnifying glass; something that will ignite and burn us all down. A disaster. Something that just can't last.
But it still feels good. You still want it.
I played this for a friend of mine yesterday, who immediately said it sounded like something out of a Disney movie. Maybe. This is one of those great songs I love with an upbeat melody and really depressing lyrics. But what, a guy can't play a recorder and not have it compared to Pocahontas?
