I don't know, it's just a quiet, beautiful song in my opinion. The rolling, tumbling percussion and effects really add to the sparse, open atmosphere. Thom's vocals are at their most haunting in that frail tone, unlike the slightly overdone "Nude." That piano line is so dark and oppressive, but it is a great final song, and is great without the guitars to shroud the performance. The piano vibrations ring deeply and is is just a perfect album closer. It sounds warm yet dark and lonely at the same time.... Now someone explain to me why "Nude" is the best thing since sliced bread. I don't think it's bad at all, but not one of my favorite tracks, really.
