One of this artist's best songs gets a wry interpretation here. The visual images, with their film-noir feel and polarized beauty, cut against the haunting reggae composition to increase the sense of dread. We are trapped, as is the singer, in the Night Hotel; his weary resignation and dry delivery are devastating. Everything has gone awry. But, as always, there's the saving grace of the dark humor underneath. Brilliant, once again.
