All My Friends closes with something known in the literary tradition of my country as "The Golden Key", which is when your last verses are the most elaborate and deep and serve as the culmination of your piece, its apex.
And with a face like a dad and a laughable stand
You can sleep on the plane or review what you said
When you drunk and the kids look impossibly tanned
You think over and over "hey I'm finally dead"
Oh if the trip and the plan fall apart in your hand
You can turn it on yourself, you ridiculous clown
You forgot what you meant when you read what you said
You always knew you were tired, but then where are your friends tonight...

I recently watched the interview where james talks about how his life sucked and how literally considered himself a complete failure before started seeing his therapist and how his life changed completely in the next years. Man now i totally understand how he put together a song like "Someone Great". Heartbreaking... What an album.

I'm in a turning point of my life unlike any other I had before, and this is the soundtrack to it. Every song hit me like the world. Then in "New York I Love You..." I really started remembering all sorts of things from all my life, and now I can only sit in silence.
