My lyrical favourite of the album has grown to be Glasses. It used to be The World Belongs to You, but Glasses has snuck its way into my heart.
It just feels like sort of the midpoint between Shop Vac and Now I Am An Arsonist – it’s about the life of married, urban middle-class, but it has evocative language and odd metaphors – it only really says one thing outright: “I like you in glasses,” but communicates so much, and it is so very much about love without ever really being “a love-song” as we know the genre.
On the topic of the trickling music-videos the Coulton is releasing, I really look forward to seeing what he’ll do with Now I Am An Arsonist – will he have the sultry voice of Suzanne Vega on his side, or is there a different card up his sleeve?
Also, am I the only one who thinks he should leave it to The Onion to produce the video for Good Morning Tucson? I mean, I can’t be the only one thinking Today, Now!’s Jim and Tracy when I hear that thing, right? Right?
