“ Alright so, this here is a song which I want you to sing to the one you love when the time comes. You will know when the time has come. You won’t like it. You won’t feel like singing. I want you to remember when the time comes that I told you this thing would come. It will make you look crazy. There’s nothing like looking crazy to give you the edge.
— John Darnielle introducing “No Children” at The Empty Bottle in Chicago, IL; 2.28.04.
