An absolutely brilliant song.

A pretty crappy video.

Is it Nick Drake his vocals remind me of?

The video could, at a pinch, be compared to Small Stabs at Happiness.

I love the lyric:

"I am overrated, " said the sculptor to the sea.
"I've been praised for all the ways the marble leaves the man, and I was wrong to try and free him."
And as for me, I am a vector, I am muscle, I am bone.
The sun upon my shoulders and the horse between my legs,
This is all I know."
