Milty on the Magi

I agree with CB about what it is the strongest part of this song although I'm not sure about the "checkpoint" lyric, just the choice of the word "checkpoint" itself really. I am thoroughly crazy about the rest of the lines that CB quoted. The internal rhyme and word choices are exquisite and the lyrics ride seamlessly on a pretty melody. I also love the melodic turns of the chorus of this song; familiar yet uneasy, unpredictable, looming, like the situation they portray. Lyrically, I really like how the story ends where it starts, altered slightly. The same situation is now mournful. The hope and joy are infused with hard, cold realities and yet still a hope that light will shine through the darkness lingers.
