By the age of five we’re trained to not to poke, not to push the envelope because we discover that if we do that we might get punished, we might get pushed back and so very few people […] are ready to stand up for an idea that may not match the status quo. The answer is to reassure yourself, […] to feed yourself a steady diet of reassuring, inspirational, insightful work that maybe, just maybe helps you find the guts to do the work that you know you need to do. – Seth Godin

I somehow missed this song when it came out, but I’ve been making up for it pretty heavily lately. Those drums and that repetitious guitar riff  at :28 have a steady New Order feel to them. How endearing and heartbreaking.
