I can't stop listening to Nick Drake's Poor Boy from Bryter Layter.
Something about the jazzy background music and the simple downward chromatic melody.
And the amazing background singers. More than just a great song, it's also wry commentary. The clinging together of these empty, drab lyrics against the virtuosity of understated, yet showy musicianship. The touch is perfect.
Good 2AM, bring it on down and get to bed kind of song.
