I have much the same reaction to this as I have to Leonard Cohen - that is, some days, I'd think it a well-crafted tune in the folk tradition supporting intelligent and considered lyrics that avoid the usual tropes. But today I think think the tune's derivative and the lyrics are overegged. 5/10Originally Posted by sixsmith
The Furs - the arrangement has dated, but the tune is still gear.

Publicly, I'm not a White Stripes fan but it's hard not to view Jack White as a minor genius. 8/10.
