...chorus three women, one man, all standing in black with their fingers clasped, bouncing to the beat behind their backs sang with their chins up and their lips curled. “Look how happy they are!”Energy fed dance—by the third song even the navel-gazers tapped their toes. The better three of them in front of me traded elbow nudges and head nods. One wore white, the other black, and the third stepped back as if to judge.

Luckily, Missy added an amazing new verse, and Jokinen realized that it’s way cooler to watch a murder than an accident...
...mediocrity continues into the title song, which ends with “That’s the way it is / When nature plays its lovely hand / You’ll understand everything.” Only thing is, I don’t. This pledge to wildflowers may be meant as some sort of metaphor: when love comes, it moves everything out of the way, just like a wildflower displaces native plants and shrubs...
