"Handlebars" by Flobots
Notable Lyric

In my opinion, the lyrics of this song are hard to appreciate in a way other than holistically, so I cannot pick a favorite. But since we are avid readers discussing music, here is a notable lyric from the song:
I'm all curled up with a book to read
Album

Fight With Tools


What do you think? Like my song pick today or nah? Have you listened to this song before? Please post a reply letting me know.

This reminds me of a mix between Gorillaz and Linkin Park. Very interesting.

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

It's such a shame that my ex was the one who introduced me to this song. It's got such a deep meaning and actually makes me shiver when I focus too much while listening to it, but now I'm not sure whether the shivers are from my imagination or the associations I make with it. :lol:

I really love the progression of this song. It grows and develops in volume and intensity (though still pretty mild) as the lyrics start to fringe on insanity. The lyrics themselves could be turned into a book. I love it!
