Third Best Song

Most of the time, less is more. "Wait, they don't love you like I love you" proves that point. Why did we wait so long to write this into a rock song? And why can't we have more songs with that urgent guitar in the opening and throughout the song along with the rolling wave like drums? This song is so pretty, moving, and, I feel, desperate all at the same time. It's a very moving song. And when Karen O starts lyrically waxing “Wait, they don’t love you like a love you” over and over, but never singing it the same way twice, nothing truer rings true.
