Thanks so much for posting. Very moving song by Elvis Perkins. The poetry is so rich, raw and powerful. Poignantly appropriate for today.

@JeeberizeMeCaptain I whole-heartedly agree! Well said.



his imaginative lyrics are so underrated. really, i can think of very few artists today (especially very popular ones) who write so creatively and poetically. the depth of this song is so moving.
