Discover the story of the song > Mass Romantic – The New Pornographers

The song is about a person who is a hopeless romantic, always listening to love stories on the radio. They are obsessed with stars and a particular author who writes about young people who go to shows. However, they feel disconnected from real-life romance and passion, and the only way to experience it is through music and books. The song ends with the protagonist feeling lost in a world of electrical lights and longing for something more meaningful.
