League of Inveterate Poets

In this Year in Which I Kick My Cancer’s Ass, I’ve finally found my theme song (lyrics below video):

UPDATE: I wouldn’t have thought the wonderfulness of the video above could be surpassed, but OK GO has just issued the “official” video for this song, which may feature the greatest Rube Goldberg machine of all time:

This Too Shall Pass by OK Go

You know you can’t keep lettin’ it get you down
And you can’t keep draggin’ that dead weight around.
If there ain’t all that much to lug around,
Better run like hell when you hit the ground.

When the morning comes.
When the morning comes.

You can’t stop these kids from dancin’.
Why would you want to?
Especially when your already gettin’ yours.
‘Cause if your mind don’t move and your knees don’t bend,
well don’t go blamin’ the kids again.

When the morning comes.
When the morning comes.

Let it go, this too shall pass
When the morning comes.

Bonus! Let’s not forget that these were the lads who brought us one of the most viral music videos of all time:
