I agree, it's a bit too dry. It would work as a lyric to a good song, though.

I love how the trailer cuts "When in doubt, just do the right thing" in the middle of the phrase.

Oh, yeah. Obviously, it's to get fans hyped for the release. My fingers are perched to buy it at any moment, though I suspect they won't release it until tonight or tomorrow. Mayybe Tuesday.

There is no English equivalent for causerie, which is something less formal, continuous, and pretentious than 'conversation,' something more intellectual, refined, and cultivated than 'talk.' An earnest preoccupied man may converse: an over-excited or coarse-minded man may talk; but neither the one nor the other can causer in the precise French acceptation of the word. Boswell says, 'Though his (Johnson's) usual phrase for conversation was 'talk,' yet he made a distinction; for when he once told me that he dined the day before at a friend's house, with 'a very pretty company,' and I asked him if there was good conversation, he answered, 'No, sir, we had 'talk' but no conversation; there was nothing discussed.

i would really like you to attempt at causerie, like you shouldent ( cause no one is forcing you) yet for most issues it will not make much attention. Yet style is just something nobody of tallent follow, cause they create their own way.
