Wolf Parade - Yulia

Eventually it all ends up in space. From Tom Hanks to the Leprechaun horror franchise to Jason from another horror franchise. While the Leprechaun fellow and Jason's cosmic voyages were the death rattle of franchises long past their expire date, Wolf Parade's Yulia aligns closer to the Tom Hanks or "classier" variety of space travel. Astronaut (or more accurately, Cosmonaut) and lover have been separated by some rather significant physical distance and both seem to regret the trip. It seems that they were perhaps playing the ultimate game of "Lovers Chicken", where after an argument the antes started to drastically up:
"Yeah, well maybe I will just go to space so you won't have to deal with me anymore!"
"Fine, do that"
"I will"
"Good!"
"Really I will, I'm going now to the rocket station"
"If that's what you want to do"
"It is what I want, I'm putting space stuff on right now in fact"
"You look stupid in space stuff"
"Well then you will be happy because you won't have to see how stupid I look because I will be in outer space!"
"So go!"
"I'm in a rocket now"
"I don't care"
"Okay now I'm in the stratosphere"
"Good for you, I hope you meet someone nice there"
"Okay now I am really in outer space! I'm so sorry, oh god why did I do this, I love you so much!!!"
"I love you so much, why did I let you go to outer space, noooooooooo!"

Enjoy.
