Have been listening to Death Cab’s new album Narrow Stairs and I am reminded of last year…no, two years ago and their Plans album and listening to it with a specific context in mind. This new album is pretty amazing. A specific song, the ice is getting thinner, is so…appropriate? Applicable? Relevant?
It reminds me of the novella shopgirl and the sentiment of one of the main characters that the loss, the mistake, the immaturity of decisions made and paths taken…how does one account for them? That’s life? That it is the ice that’s getting thinner and not the individuals that are standing still or doing something, anything, to save them all?
How easy should it be to move on? Is that the right metric? Is there one at all?
You can do better than me, but I can’t do better than you.
