This song and Strange Tourist are my favourite off the album.
The first few times I listened to the song it seemed to be about a family friend he's known for a long time. He can see her beauty and value to others but he's also seen how vapid she and her Father are. They have a tendency to ruin the relationships around them in their own pursuits. Gareth still finds himself going out of his way to accommodate her but then her Father reminds him of his place. And in those actions he see's how ruthless and callous she can be also.
@ScavengerOfTheSeas my favourite two songs too. And I love this interpretation and the inclusion of an affair. I’m seeing him twice in Melbourne soon. Such an honour. I think he’s the greatest musician of my lifetime.
