He realized then that he wasn't looking for a song to download. He was looking for the version of himself that existed before the heartbreaks became "exes"—the version that could still laugh at the absurdity of a life spent falling in and out of love. He closed his eyes, the digital accordion filled the room, and for three minutes and forty-two seconds, the apartment didn't feel so quiet anymore.
