So, how about something from this century? Easy enough. For those of you new to our Greatest Song of All Time of the Week feature, dig right in, this one is only a little over nine minutes long, no big deal. Enjoy the bizzaro-world-yet-enlightening lyrics, enjoy the snare drum ringing out like small arms fire, enjoy Dan Bejar’s bratty kid voice (that somehow manages to sound wiser than the prophets) while it effortlessly drops my favorite line from this century or last:

The sketchy crowd shows me drawings, they’re alright
An alternately dim and frightful waste
Now come on honey let’s go outside
You disrupt the world’s disorder just by virtue of your grace

Lyrics that great can actually be found all over Destroyer’s catalog, but this song’s emotion and urgency sets Bejar’s words into sharp relief against the roiling musical backdrop. The nine-plus minute run time simply evaporates.
