    That was verging on sacred. I listened to this just before I went into my favorite teriyaki restaurant. I went in and Naum greeted me. I asked how she was and through tears said her father in law died that morning. Her husband was in the back working hard on more orders. She put her hand over her heart and talked about his dad doing her best to keep it together. I couldn’t hold back the tears. I knew how she felt. It was a great moment. I think in a way this song helped soften me for the upcoming moment.

    Even when I heard this song as a child for the first time, the weird mediant harmonies it uses totally amazed me. I had no idea about music back then, of course, but I knew there was something special about this song. These days I study (classical) music theory and mediant harmonies are the most normal thing in the world to me now, but this song still touches me. Chord progressions like these are used too infrequently in popular music. They really make this song stand out as much as the lyrics do.
