This song is one of my favourite stories of all time...about love in isolation. Would the love still exist if the isolation ended?

This is the pop-folk equivalent to Browning's "Porphyria's Lover." They lyrics feel clever & genuine. The love story is original & engaging… & twisted.

Such a great song writer and performer. Watch him live if you ever get the opportunity.
A romance so well told that it'll have you rooting for nuclear annihilation. (Pair this with The Twilight Zone episode "Two" for perfect evening of love-conquers-all-even-in-the-face-of-global-devastation entertainment.)
"Then one night you found me in my army issue cot
And you told me of your flash of inspiration:
You said fusion was the broken heart that's lonely's only thought
And all night long you drove me wild with your equations."
