The arrangement is great. That's about it.

Dang, 13 years already?! Wasn't this just introduced to me on KCRW. Another chapter slips into the nostalgia files.

A great album, this song always impresses anyone who I'm playing it for the first time.  It is very moody and sets up the rest of the album perfectly.  More BDB Bill!  Thanks.

Thanks for pointing that out.  I imagine that you are somewhat familiar with brass instruments to be able to hear such a distinction.  It's a sweet sound, whatever instrument it is.

Once around the Block was a pretty good single. (But I know what you mean.)

One of my favourite albums. May have played better with less songs - not because there are any fillers on this, but it would have been a more concerted effort and less conceptual. The album that followed this gravely disappointed.

This is great music...  the vocal melody matches the notes on the acoustic guitar...  that really carries the heart of this beautiful song...  and it was wonderfully produced...

Zep, I totally agree. If time is taken to listen to the whole album it just grows and grows. I can understand why some might find it a little dull and off key, but that's kind of missing the point. Love it or hate it, the track (and in fact the album) has a style and charm all its own so I will give it a 9 all day long.

That would be like mixing cola and Laphroaig . You can, but such a waste of a good single malt.
Might I suggest Billie Holiday? Dizzy? Anything less sweet and artificially flavored would work.

I always think that the intro to this song sound like something that would have come out of Island Records stable of artist in the early 70’s and been produced by Joe Boyd.

Spot on.  Maybe they should change thier front man to Fred Savage and change the name of the band to "Badly Drawn Octopus" . . .
