'People keep saying when they hear Jeff Mangum that they can't beleive how much beautiful music is created by just a man and his guitar. I think the stories he creates in his music and his own are so deep and intertwined that these songs are almost like pages in his diary, and when we see the diary stop, we just want him back.'

Though it is not 'just a man and his guitar'. It is a handful of beautiful people making said stories come alive and become a part of us; that's the way I see it anyway.
