A sweet song and a commendable video.

I've always wanted to hear a woman cover this song (and a lot of neutal milk hotel songs, actually). Preferrably a woman with an Irish lilt. Good songs, but not the biggest fan of his voice.

Anne Frank's diary is an amazing thing,... itself a testament to the beauty of humanity as it documents the horror we're capable inflicting.

Couldn't agree more. On both points.

It may be the pleasure of my fellow Sifters to know that I'm beginning to play guitar and that this is the first piece I'm learning. Chordie.com, woot woot.

The pictures of Otto Frank move me as much as anything. First so young and chipper, then old but unbowed.

Off one of the best albums ever made. Gotta love NMH.

I love Neutral Milk Hotel. I am glad to see that others can appreciate how awesome Jeff Mangum is.
