Since the day this was aired, I still find myself coming back to this vid. When I'm out the audio version does just fine but I have to admit it doesn't have the same effect as watching it. The drummer... Wow, she is badass!

Really like this song on many levels. The lyrics make me think of all of us who are in pursuit of spiritual answers but approach our quest with an intellectual approach. How wrong is that! M Wards music is steeped in americana, which I love...country, blues, R&B, folk, be bop, rockabilly, rock and roll. But just listen to that guitar solo at the end. It comes in almost unannounced at around the 3 minute mark with some notes from the song's melody ushered in by a thumping bass/ drum...then it just takes off. Isn't that pure fifties rockabilly or is it rock and roll. Does anyone recognise the sound?
