Forever and always, my favorite @TMBG song.

If someone put a gun to my head and asked me what my favorite song was and wouldn't allow me to answer with "Gosh, there are so many . . . ", it's very possible I would choose this one. It's probably the best happy sounding sad song in my overlarge collection of happy sounding sad songs. I love how the rhythm of the melody in the chorus skitters over the unexpected marching chords. Also: accordion.

When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge: "I don't want the world, I just want your half."
One of the best pop songs from one of the best pop bands ever.

I don't want the world. I just want your half.
Ana Ng: definitely some kind of spiritual cousin to Emily Kane and Agatha Chang...
