Hello, I've waited here for you.

“Q: I was really annoyed when people got hung up on the line “Magnets, how the fuck do they work?” from the Bang Pow Boom single “Miracles.” Even with scientifically knowledgeable people, asking how magnets work is the beginning of a paragraph-long explanation. A while back VICE asked a bunch of random people on the street how magnets work and only one person knew. 

A: The whole “Miracles” thing was crazy. It was just a song! Joe wrote that song through the eyes of his five-year-old son. To a five-year-old child simple things can be amazing. The point of the song was to look around and see that the world is an amazing place. So many of us take things for granted the older we get. It’s a good lesson to slow down and live in the moment. I find when we worry too much about  ”the future” or what we cannot control, we tend to get a bit anxious, uneasy, and make mistakes.”

Can’t I still prefer to believe you were just that dumbfounded by fucking magnets?
