The Sad Story Behind The Final Song Of "The Colbert Report"

In April, Colbert talked about his relationship with the song “Holland, 1945” by Neutral Milk Hotel.


The final episode of The Colbert Report aired Thursday night. The last segment was a huge sing-a-long of “We’ll Meet Again.”

He said he loved the "strange, sad poetry" of a song called "Holland 1945" by an indie band from Athens, Ga., called Neutral Milk Hotel and sent me the lyrics, which included this heartbreaking bit:


"But now we must pick up every piece

Of the life we used to love

Just to keep ourselves

At least enough to carry on. . . .

And here is the room where your brothers were born

Indentions in the sheets

Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore."
