An all-time favourite!

Come to think of it, this would have been a fitting song to post for the "Mixtape Staple" theme a few weeks back.  It's one of those songs I can't help but want to share with everyone I know.

I love the way this song plods along--like trying to move forward on the hottest of days, when the sweat soaks your hairline and drips in your eyes and heatwaves dance across the surface of the pavement.  This song is so favourited and has been listened to so many times, that I find I am having a hard time discussing its nuances.  Needless to say Nathan Willett's voice makes my toes curl (in a good way)...maybe curl isn't the right word...more like scrunch.  I love the increasing sense of hysteria that mounts in his voice as the song inches along...matching the controlled cacophony of the music.
