Walk away now and you're going to start a war. God, I wish I had the balls to say that more often. [2]

no catálogo impressionante da banda, "start a war" é claramente um dos pontos mais luminosos (e olha que na linha acústica-lentinha eles ainda têm uma melhor). não tenho muito a dizer sobre esta música, exceto que eu gosto muito do verso-promessa "i'll be funny again" e que vejo uma belíssima imagem para uma poesia minha no trecho que fala sobre (a inutilidade de?) trancar (o sentimento?) num cofre atrás de uma pintura e sair porta afora. mas o que fascina mesmo é a letra muito convicta e lúcida para um arranjo que parece agitar como que formando ondas, escapar pelas mãos – e isso é muito bem observado no verso "i never had to hold you by the edges like i do now", que concilia letra e harmonia. esse misto de austeridade e opulência coloca a banda numa classe só dela.

They've had a slow, acoustic song on each of the past three albums (the other two being Runaway and Daughters of the SoHo Riots) but this is definitely the best

This song is my fave of theirs. Love the lyrics and it flows really nicely.... It's like a guy desperately trying to cling on to his relationship as it falls apart....( at least that's how i see it ) It's a very touching song...
