J. Tillman incorporates tons of religious symbolism into his lyrics, but not within the way that religious people would expect them to be used. I think that the ritualism of taking each other's hands expresses something in a physical way that is expressed both in the music and the lyrics of the song. But that's just me.

@anotherhana It is more the 2:32 mark in this when he goes to hug or touch Aja, then stops and pretends to touch his beard.

Does anyone else hear the sound of a car engine at 1:58 - 2:01? Haha.

Is it just me or does the last bit seem really awkward when they all hold hands.

This song is pretty to sing as a solo. Their harmony is fantastic. Hey, elyssemarie, maybe they went to an Albigensian youth group. Albigensians believed in rebirth (or reincarnation, actually, along with a lot of other weird things).

Hm. This performance smacks of youth group at your local suburban Protestant church.

I'm so sick of the appropriately folk titles and themes to each song..this one is the worst. Blow me in the balls.
