...eventually arriving at an atmospheric conglomeration of multiple vocal lines and ringing synths. During the song’s surprisingly-condensed four-minute run time, the lyrics travel just as far as the music.

...march 26, President Obama announced that the U.S. and Russia will cut their deployed long-range nuclear arsenals by 30% over seven years. The START Follow-On Treaty, as it is known, is the descendant of a series of Cold War arms-control agreements that had an unlikely progenitor: the spectacular failure of the most ambitious disarmament program ever conceived.

But any hope of that will depend on realism's giving way to optimism--and the belief that an abundance of thermonuclear weapons isn't the most effective way to stop people from slaughtering one another...
