incredible

today's lesson from iPod's shuffle songs feature:

The way Craig Finn sings/says the word incredible is delicious. It doesn't really matter if it's Lifter Puller or the Hold Steady... he has a completely unique was of using the word incredible in song and verse. It's almost a plea... longing and humble, warm and just hinting at something that isn't quite desperation, but has passion and cynicism all entangled in themselves behind it.

OK, I know I'm a freak for putting that much thought into how one person uses one word.

i think that is a fantastically apt observation, and also, you are not a freak.
