Anybody else here feel a sense of immense happiness/euphoria and at the same time a sense of melancholy and longing for the past and something now gone from your life.... when you listen to The Magnetic Fields? This song does just that to me. It's so unique

[Xorcist-Band]

"Who will pay the rent" - Wow... that line did it. If you've been in this situation before, you totally understand this on so many levels.

Every time I listen to this song I only wish it was longer.

[Friedegger]

"Like the mating call of sarcastic sharks" is the best quip I've heard in a long time.

[meesalikeu]

its a great song live too shirley is a treasure

[fiendish]

Magnetic Fields are incredible- the art

[moxyshock]

This video needs more views. Such a good song.

[MartinJLim]

Oh and the quality is stellar. It gets better and better each time they release one. I hope they continue to feed our needy ears for as long as they can allow it. -3

Amazing what she can convey without saying a word.

[alfonsoorbegoso]

that woman looks like a granny and a little girl simultaneously.  She should be in some more motion pictures.

It totally does have something to do with the song. I see it as two people 'put in the trash' or 'thrown out' by others and they meet each other. Like 'one mans trash is another mans treasure.'

[katrinaisme]

This song is perfect for me to relate to im so glad the person who wrote this song did.

[Quixo]

that was really cute.
and about the "mismatched" themes, i think it works fine.  i guess you could say its the aftermath of the song being played out over it.  every end is a new beginning.

[housecaldwell]

Fantastic video and song! Thanks Neil Gaiman for the tip.

[FarmerChords]

This song is so fucking rad The Magnetic Fields have done it yet again!!!

[Stephychan]

You better think of something quick before I don't love you no more
Quick! Before I walk out that door
Quick! Before it all ends in jeers
What a waste of all those beers

You better think of something quick because my suitcase is packed
Quick! Because I'm through being attacked
Are you really prepared to lose
All this just to air your views?

We're on the brink of something
Get me a drink of something

Quick! Between your outrageous remarks
Like the mating calls of sarcastic sharks
Quick! Before you can't take that back
Just before it all goes black

You better think of something quick before the midnight bell chimes
You're living in dangerous times
Torture me for your amusement
About who will pay the rent

Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent

[elbagrl]

This video is a ridiculous amount of adorable. I think I'll watch it again, thank you.

[TheBrybrybrybry]

This is one of my absolute, favorite songs

[Kitificationable]
