Such a great album. And I'm basically with you on the standout songs and the reasons why. Don't Look Down and Ten Seconds to Midnight/Tonight we Fly are just amazing.

I think I like "Geronimo" a bit more than you - it's such a lovely snapshot of life. Like an old memory they'll have every time they smell coffee and rain together.

I do love Geronimo as well - the snapshot-y-ness of it is what I think I was trying to get at when I was talking about my clear image.

Oh yes, yes to all of this. Don't Look Down is especially genius. And I knew you'd like the epiphenomenalism bit of The Booklovers.

Don't Look Down really did have my 16-yr-old self going YES. THAT. THAT. extensively.
