The meteorite is a source of the light, and the meteor's just what we see. And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee.

From our window, two lanterns draw signs on the night and light our two shadows. I watch with delight. Will I want them to be who they will be or to be more like their dad?

This is an excellent 2000s list, and I also appreciate the list of albums that just missed, as this gives me a fuller sense of how you view the decade as a whole. I love Funeral (I know everyone does, but it's for good reason), Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Sound of Silver, and Illinois, among many of your other selections. I'm not familiar with Haha Sound, so that's one that I'll need to spend some time with, based on the strength of your other picks. Excellent work on this chart!
