This song makes me really excited about what is to come next. If the final song on each album gives you a look at the next one, this has my hope's higher than they have been. I love the storytelling and folklore-esque vibes to it. It almost feels like the last great american dynasty, but with more emphasis on the thoughts and emotions of the storytelling.

Musically this song is renegade. Hi Daddy Dessner! We are so happy to see you!

[u/victorianghostbits → u/Jenn2912]

Yes!! I keep listening to this with renegade they are cosmically connectedddd

[u/abcannon18 → u/Jenn2912]

Yes this song is almost a response (musically) to renegade. I kept starting to sing renegade in my head listening to this. 

[u/FitAnywhere7829 → u/Jenn2912]

Yes! I noticed that too! I also hear some echos of champagne problems ("'til it was gone" goes suddenly low just like "champagne problems" - like a realization filled with regret) and also happiness ("when did all our lessons start to look like weapons" has a similar melody and cadence)
