The National - Start A War
I promise that things will get better. They will.
Whatever went away I’ll get it over again.
I’ll get money, I’ll get funny again
Walk away now and you’re gonna start a warOh man, this tumblr totally courtesy of novazembla. I am a big maker of playlists, and in fact, I’ve been making one for every month (you can see the track listings here, in the bar on the right) since, oh, I dunno…2005 or so? They’re not all up online, but a good chunk of them are. Anyhow, I sometimes find that my playlist-making self is ever so slightly prescient, and that I’ve started making a list, say, for a breakup, a few weeks before that breakup actually happens. This song has been part of just such an episode of foresight.
Ooh, I’ve been meaning to do exactly that!
(Did your selection of this song foresee a break-up or a return of money and funny?)
So far, mostly the breakup, but perhaps money and funny are on their way. In fact, let’s go with that—money and funny, I expect your arrival any day now.
