I disagree, I think that this song is very good. It's deeply emotional in a different kind of way. Usually Jeff Mangum pulls you in with a deep emotional voice, and surrounds you in musical sorrows. this song is different though, Jeff chooses his music as the primary center, and allows you to drift to it, or to listen to his words, which are intensically deep in a 'complexy' but simple way.
