    This is pretty wild. It has a Daniel Johnston vibe to it, which I like!

    Remembering your comments from various uploads of Sesame Street (which led me to your channel, which as of tonight I subscribed to), I must admit, seeing this video tonight would be my first time hearing this song, with which I was unfamiliar until now. Thank you.
  • Luke 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

    There's something uncanny to this... Sinister even. I like it, at the same time, I don't.
