Great, restrained storytelling.

Looking at the...well, "eye-opening" song title, you may be forgiven for thinking that this song will be gross & bawdy but it is, in fact, a sensitive & tragic tale. To the backdrop of serene melancholic music, Lou narrates the story of Harry, who is filled with despair & self-loathing. The pitiful tone is in Harrys' hopelessness & his self-perception & fear of what he may become but the tragedy is what he plans to do about it. There is a twist at the end which reveals both poignancy AND humour........but humour as pitch black as night...   10
