No comments on this beautiful instrumental? I have a few thoughts. First, I can play this on my clarinet very well. Second, it's a very vivid, evocative song for me, even though there are no words. I still see a story in this that relates to the overall story on The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. I imagine that after the violent shaving of his "fluffy heart" in the preceding song, Back In NYC, the protagonist Rael falls into a deep sleep. As he sleeps, which is during this song, I imagine a figure slowly taking shape next to him. This is the manifestation of Rael's brother, John, actually a multiple personality. When they wake up, Rael cannot remember a time without John. So that's what I think happens during this song- it's a flashback to a very important moment in Rael's life. The flashback continues with his first romantic encounter in Counting Out Time, and finally the story returns to the present time and situation with The Carpet Crawlers.
Yes, I know that's a lot to read into one song that doesn't even have words, but maybe I'm just being crazy.
