I really love this song, and I definitely didn't at first. It was too much of a departure for me to wrap my head around. Once I got into it though, it wouldn't leave my head.

There's something, as menju said, so uniquely American about it. It must be her folk/Appalachian influence that anchors a lot of her work in the States. The lyrics to the song are really excellent, too. "I am in love with the hook upon which everyone hangs" is just...wow. Amazing.

It was really cool to see the evolution of this song. She did a fun, yet messy, performance of it in Philadelphia last March. When I saw her in NYC in November, it was a polished, awesome musical achievement.
