If you've ever smelled a newborn baby's head, you would agree that this is beautiful.

It smells clean and pure....like a new beginning and starting over with all possibilities open to you ( just like freedom  ;)).

Indeed it does.

I didn't vote because while I don't think it's one of their best lyrics, it is a very very good lyric.

Ehh, it's okay.

I'm not a hater of the lyric either.

This lyric really popped out at me when the album first came out because my sister had just had a baby. It's one of the more memorable lines from the album, but I really think its sort of neither their best nor their worst.

I don't feel strongly at the moment, but I guess I hated it at a point. Answer 2.

I always kind of liked that lyric. I don't have any kids myself yet so I guess I'm not in the best position to judge it.
