Default Brown Eyes

Remeber I'm new to a board full of FM fans so I dont know what everybody's collectvive opinion of songs is yet, so 'scuse me if I'm wrong here.

For some reason I'd get the impression that Brown Eyes would be one of the more under-rated tracks on Tusk, it doesn't really have the exciting coked out paranoia of Lindsay's tracks or the stately beauty and power of Stevies.

Actually, it kind of seems to ramble a bit without making much of a statement, and if you want to be anal it has a hell of a throwaway chorus. So why is it the only track on Tusk that I'll play mulitiple times before I'm satisfied (besides Tusk itself)?

The vocals are the coolest I've heard on any FM track, period.
There's just something about the eerie beauty of them that just gives me chills, mainy the "Sha la la la la la Ooooooooooahhhhh!!!!" part. Her voice just rocks. And I'm also a sucker for any song with that beautifully chilled out Rhodes electric piano. I just like vintage keyboards period, wish she used the mellotron more like she did on "The Ghost"

Also the instrumentation is unusally spacey and trippy for a Mac track. I wish there were more songs like this one in their catalog (I heard Future Games was kind of prog/space rockish but haven't heard it).

So I dunno what's y'alls take?
