...Beloved (Thandie Newton), who may or may not be the incarnation of the daughter Sethe was forced to murder in her sordid past. As Beloved's presence becomes more and more devastating, Paul D finds himself tested by a number of painful secrets and Sethe plunges into a downward spiral of madness and depression...
...sophisticated and wealthy (the minimum price of admission was $10 million), Federal Reserve officials feared letting them go bankrupt. So many of the nation's biggest banks and brokerages had loaned so much money to Long Term Capital that its collapse could have severely damaged those lenders, forced a spiral of securities sales and shaken confidence in the already wobbly world financial system.

The song portrays teenage life as a cycle, not a downward spiral, and therefore has no reason to become overly bitter or cynical, nor overly cheesy. It feels like an objective memoir, not colored to be happy or sad, but rather of the stuff that life is made of: pain, pleasure, beauty, anger and, most of all, uncertainty. Consider some of these lyrics: "They...
