Sue’s to blame. We said that at the start of the movie.


I totally think Jon Reid should have covered this song on his last EP. Tell me if you think I’m wrong, but this just seems right in his wheel house when it comes to unironical ironical cover songs. I used to really want to know what this song meant. I was 12 or 13 and I was convinced that Howard Jones knew something about life that I did not. I assumed, since I did not understand it, that this song was deep. It did not occur to me then as it occurs to me now that it’s possible that this song does not make sense to me because this song does not make sense. That doesn’t make it a bad song, it’s just not fraught with meaning in the way I assumed as a tween. Had I been a bit more discerning from the start, I probably would have figured that one out from dude’s hair.

  1. ah, see… you’re standing there in the windy damp, your ill-fitting bluejeans drooping, your chapped snotty nose pressed up against the plate-glass window of the good life.

    aspirations in the clouds, but your hopes go down the drain…
