@Megatonaxe its depicting a folk tale:A poor man finds an injured crane, takes it in and nurses it back to health.After he releases the crane,a woman appears at his doorstep and he falls in love and marries.Because they need money, his wife offers to weave clothes out of silk, but only if he agrees never to watch her making them.He eventually peeks into see what she is doing.The loom is a crane plucking feathers from her body and weaving them into the loom.The crane flies away and never returns.

Also, happier note: I'm decorating my apartment now with my fiance, and we've got a huge origami crane on our wall made of black and red thread, with feather-shaped mirrors, and the lyrics to Crane Wife 1 framed and illustrated on our wall. We are such sappy indie fuckers.
