It was used in the 2000 film High Fidelity.
The words
A man insists he is over a past love, and the insistence gives him away.
The singer insists he has moved on from a past love: he is clear-headed, steady, and hardly thinks of her at all. Yet every claim of calm comes with the same small qualifier, and the more he repeats it, the more obvious it becomes that he has not let go. The tone is soft and self-deceiving, which makes it quietly sad. The slow, atmospheric track was used in the 2000 film High Fidelity.
