This is a clip of a group of girls performing a cover of All Fires (From the Swan Lake album) on a cheap keyboard.

If I was a better writer I would write a novel based on this clip. It's so compelling to me. This song is, to my ears, the same type of ballad as "Us Ones In between". That's why I'm starting here. The thing is it's more complex to me. I can't quite explain it. Maybe it's the layered narratives. Maybe it's just the song. Maybe the messy Swan Lake production does something. I just love how each sentence follows the next. No matter what's in them I'm just totally in their thrall. I don't know what they mean and I don't care.

Here's the original
