we'll find our place in this world if it takes all day and all night

Good God. I just pounded, in a frenetic, excited drumming motion, on my kitchen counter, where my life is lived — where the computer hums and the iced tea pours and the unopened mail piles up and the bananas brown. I did this because I put in the Dears album that I bought in Toronto (story to follow), and "Hate Then Love" started and I realized that my #1 all time favorite song ever (the "You could try to break my heart song") is that one. It is. It is on the record. I have it forever. My life is a wonder.
