This lament about a cold romance that has led to drastic measures is the first single from The Age of Adz, the ninth release by American singer-songwriter and musician Sufjan Stevens. The album's title (pronounced "Age of Odds") is a reference to the apocalyptic art of schizophrenic artist Royal Robertson (1936-1997). Robertson married Adele Brent in 1955 and they had eleven children. Their marriage ended after 19 years when Adele left him for another man, taking their children with her.
