This song grows on you. First time I heard it I thought it was crap, but it's really good, after listening to it again. Plus you can never go wrong with a Sin City tribute video.
Will has previously stated, multiple times, the entire Black Sheep Boy album is based on Tim Hardin's life. That's why Black Sheep Boy is such a poignant title and album opener. If you google it there's a great piece on that topic on somebodys website. It's an interview with Will and he talks about having the distinct honor of meeting Tim's son. Check it out.
Tim Hardin was a singer-songwriter who wrote the song Black Sheep Boy, the character in that song was adapted by Will Sheff for this album and he turned it into a parallel to Hardin himself. Hardin would eventually go on to die of an OD.

Devon Aoki was the guest on Conan the other day - the same night Okkervil River was playing. Interesting
