I find this song rather eerie. it's the last song on what turned out to be the band's final album, and it has a rather strong sense of closure and finality. the last chord hangs on for over a minute and a half before it finally fades away. its almost like the band is trying to hang onto their final recorded note for as long as possible, like they don't want it to end.
