This is a great movie/video of Sorrow! 200DiscChanger...sounds like you are spot-on. According to Aaron Dessner, he maintains it is an honest, lighthearted portrait. "We're just goofing around," he says. "A lot of people assume that we're miserable guys and this music is dark, but actually there's quite a lot of humor in it. "Sorrow" is a sad song, but it is also a kind of weird celebration of feeling sorrow... some people like that feeling and they don't want to get rid of it."

I love it... "a sad song, but it is also a kind of weird celebration of feeling sorrow"

sometimes i don't know what i'd do if i didn't spend the majority of my time so deeply introverted, involved in my own emotions, occupied in anxiety and sorrow, etc... as much as it makes me weary, i can't imagine how i'd spend my time if i were mostly just "ordinary"...
