Beautiful song... the synth, the voice, the noises, the atmosphere, the lyrics... all perfect.
Though I always thought he said "stood black and naked," "sparse lumps of ice" (though now I relisten, spots definitely sounds possible, but sparce more poetic) and "One of the girls, she had surprisingly, given me a kiss"
That I hear "surprisingly," not supposedly, changes my view a bit. I think he sounds dazed. He's walking in some winter world, so beautiful it's alien, and to top the night off, one of "the girls" goes and gives him a kiss. How often does THAT happen? And for some reason (I can imagine a few possible ones) it's haunted him a bit.

Anyway, a beautiful song.
