Bonnie Prince Billy - "Cursed Love"

My favorite song by Will Oldham, a.k.a. Bonny Prince Billy, has an exceptionally bizarre music video.

Apparently Will plays a blinded forest spirit happily taken in by a somewhat eccentric rural family, until the oldest child, ignored thanks to the new-comer, dresses up like a monster (E.T.), kills a small bird-friend of Will's, and ends up scaring him away. Metaphor? Allegory? All I know is its interesting, well filmed, and compliments the fun but dark tone of the song.
