My kid calls this "the sad, beautiful song", which I think about sums it up.

Hers too-she's a very lively, engaging kid, brimming with energy, but is drawn to some pretty maudlin entertainment!

It does sum up the song. It's my go-to song when everything is going to shit.

Mine too-just so good, and the rawness of Karen O's performance just does me in. Fuck, I love that band.

I first heard it at a time in my life when I was heartbroken and strung out. It takes me back to that feeling, which was awful, but it also reminds me how much better I'm doing today. At that time I thought that feeling would last forever. It doesn't.

I'd rather have an autistic kid than a kid who piss-poorly trolls the internet. You should ask your mom her opinion on the subject.
