    J. Buckley - Grace
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea


    I defy anyone with a heart to not be moved when they hear Jeff Mangum sing the last few lines of the album:

    "Two-headed boy, she is all you could need.
    She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires
    and retire to sheets safe and clean
    but don't hate her when she gets up to leave"

    or

    "I will take you and leave you alone
    Watching spirals of white softly flow
    Over your eyelids and all you did
    Will wait until the point when you let go"

    or

    "And this is the room
    One afternoon I knew I could love you
    And from above you how I sank into your soul
    Into that secret place where no one dares to go"

    And if you know the "concept" of the album, the love seems even stranger and more compelling... :)
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
