Cover art for Backyards lyrics by Broken Social Scene

I read somewhere that this was actually put together by the band as a final project for one of the members' (either Emily or Leslie, I'm not sure) university degree in performing arts.

They better have gotten perfect, because this is an absolutely spellbinding song... It struck me almost right away as a prequel or sequel to Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl. It has the same sort of melody and instrumentation...

But great song.
