this is like the pinnacle of music. now i may be writing this semi-drunk, but this song is the complete package. the whimsical-yet-musing melody, the beautifully flowing lyrics, the layered instruments, the slow build, the rumbling climax, his voice... good heavens. i really don't think it gets any better than this. music has peaked, folks.
i saw them live when they played loufest in st louis this year. i loved the rest of their show, but when they launched into this, i was floored. it's the closest to spirituality i guess i'll ever come. it was four or five minutes of pure nirvana. well done, local natives.
