When the headlining act starts the night by saying, “Let’s start the night with something self-deprecating,” it’s a toss up as to how the night, and song, will go. Songwriters are known to be a little (okay, a lot) self-deprecating; hell, most writers are. Tim Kasher, of Cursive, delivered with his opening song; it was the first promise of the night, and he honored his word.
This song, like the others performed throughout his set, held lines I would be highly doubtful of if the singer fails to be, or at least gives off the illusion of being, absolutely genuine. Tim Kasher is a genuine performer, if nothing else (and he is something else).
