How can this staggering gorgeousness have attracted only 200 likes? I despair.

Up the snowy spires, where the air is thin as glass
Once a year the cold mists clear and you can see inside the earth
High in that crystal palace I built a sailing ship
Mast and wheel of polished brass, sails of golden silk
I piped the engine steam, I set velocitations
I consulted dusty maps, set careful calibrations
Ever inward ever in, peering through my scope
I sailed deep into the hollows, deep inside the earth
I traveled a boiling river through streams of mercury
Underneath volcanoes and the roots of ancient trees
Underneath stalactites I lit phosphorus lamps
Sparks snapped into the air and coiled up the mast
I watched enormous birds diving through the slate
As I stood upon the prow in my oilskin cap and cape
At last my anchor caught and echoed through the stone
And I climbed an old rope ladder miles through the gloam
Then up above I saw it, a glowworm’s little light
And I reached out and caught it in the center of the night
Tightly in my fist I held that glowing worm
Deep down in the hollows I held the center of the world

What a beautiful harmony of form and content! What a beautiful plot! I'm totally mesmerized by every aspect of this amazing song.

Thank you so much, Handsome Family! When I heard this song play on NPR, I fell immediately in love. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play it on repeat to my heart's content. "Glow Worm" is a haunting, mythical track that's difficult to top. Much love and appreciate to you!

The bass reminds me of Colin Greenwood's work with Radiohead somehow !
