dying has just been made finer

Some of you might be familiar with the e.e. cummings poem "dying is fine)but Death". Some of you might be familiar with the Ra Ra Riot song "Dying is Fine" (which is inspired by the aforementioned poem). Both are lovely in their own right. The song bubbles along with plucky orchestral strings, which I guess is the sonic equivalent of insane punctuation usage and poetic line breaks.

Here is the poem:

dying is fine)but Death

?o
baby
i

wouldn't like

Death if Death
were
good:for

when(instead of stopping to think)you

begin to feel of it,dying
's miraculous
why?be

cause dying is

perfectly natural;perfectly
putting
it mildly lively(but

Death

is strictly
scientific
& artificial &

evil & legal)

we thank thee
god
almighty for dying
(forgive us,o life!the sin of Death

Here is the song:
