Dependent, undisciplined, sleeping late

Stuck Between Stations is arguably the best songs from one of today’s best rock bands, The Hold Steady. I’ve loved this song ever since the album first came out because it sums up a lot of what is great about the band - it’s funny, sad, and painfully earnest. Those four-odd minutes are the soundtrack to being a teenager.
Which is why I was excited when I found out today that Stuck Between Stations finally had a music video. Watch:

Besides the amazing music, it’s an unremarkable video up to the last minute - then you realize that this song is nothing less than a message directly to every single confused, isolated teenager in the United States. Craig Finn’s telling us that he’s been there and he knows how much it blows. He’s the cool adult, the one that levels with us and doesn’t condescend.
And as if that wasn’t clear enough, where does The Hold Steady play Stuck Between Stations live for the first time? In a public high school, that’s where.

Incidentally, Stuck Between Stations also happens to be a really fun song to play on the guitar.
