I absolutely love this song. I kind of think either this song on Generous Palmstroke deserved to be on Vespertine and not made into b-sides- perhaps even in place of Heirloom. I like Heirloom, but I don't feel like it fits with the rest of the album as well as these two songs.
Anyway, this song is beautiful and deeply spiritual to me. I see it as a hymn to the Earth, anthropomorphized slightly as though she were singing to Gaia, to an Earth spirit or to an Oversoul.

Simple, gorgeous, delicate and resonant.
