A song with the phrase "pissing in the yard" really shouldn't be so gorgeous.

Actually, the magic is in the hearing. Just looking at the lyrics I wouldn't have guessed I'd like the song so much.

I'm a bit of a sucker for ME's falsetto, though, and the piano and especially the horn(s) add so much depth. The song has a wintry desolate and yet contemplative beauty to it.
