I like this song as well. The creative insertion of the cd title "Mercury Falling" in this song and in "Lithium Sunset" is quite clever. I also like the use of "Mercury Falling" as musical imagery because it could mean a few things. Does it refer to Mercury, messenger for the gods, falling or does it refer to a sudden marked drop in the thermostat? Perhaps both.
