While You Were Sleeping - Elvis Perkins

Elvis Perkins' song While You Were Sleeping has been haunting my psyche for weeks, though it came out in 2007. It is the soundtrack to new relationships in my life, and blast-from-my-past characters visiting LA. While I don't care for the video, the song is amazing. Its changes in scope, loops and progressions are pure ear-joy. Lyrically, who could ask more from a song than mentions of mermaids, witches, vampires mixed with night-time domesticity...
