This song is so fucking beautiful. My favorite from the new album. Unlike many Okkervil songs though, I don't think there's any hidden, deep meaning to this one. To me it is a love song, plain and simple, although perhaps you could say it is about love in several different senses (i.e., romantic, familial, etc.) and therefore has somewhat of a deeper meaning on that level. While I do think it's just a love song though, I must stress that I don't mean that as a slight at all - it is a spectacular song. :-)
