Lead singer and songwriter Dave Longstreth restricts himself to just playing guitar and handing the vocals over to the dulcet voice of Amber Coffman. It is conventional in structure and features delightfully innocent lyrics—“From now until forever, baby / I can’t imagine anything better”—that make it a perfect anthem for separated lovers.

...Harry Potter canon, and eventually scored a shelf of their own. When John tragically left Cambridge to move across the country, I sought another Shakespeare course in honor of his memory. I was rewarded not long after by Shakespearean Tragedy, where I fell hard for the deep, dulcet speaking voice and dynamic lecture style of my next love: Professor Stephen Greenblatt. I switched from being an aspiring History concentrator to British Hist & Lit, before moving across the Barker Center to the English department, home to many of Harvard’s hotties...
