I had a king in a tenement castle, lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown. He's taken the curtains down. He's swept with the broom of contempt, and the rooms have an empty ring. He's cleaned with the tears of an actor who fears for the laughter's sting...

It has lovely vocals, definitely not an instrumental, They are slightly filtered and really sound like a lullaby. Mainly acoustic guitar, Piano and lovely cinematic strings (like the rest of TOU), there's a slighly dark tone, although not as dark as say Laurel. I Prefer it to a few songs that actually made the album.
Btw the Moog remix of Stranger is almost like an instrumental (with Alison's la la la's of course) version of felt mountain(song) and Lovely heads whistling :)
I've actually just seen it it online now, pretty easy to find if you know how to look for these things, but obviously I'm not gonna post the link. Bound to happen, I'm just glad I got my box set before someone leaked them.
