If only there were more singles like this. Creative, wonderful, literate, perfectly-wrought, unusual, lovely.

I really adore "Come Home Billy Bird," the lead-off single from the Divine Comedy's new album "Absent Friends." It's bouncy, jaunty, and be-lyricked delightfully. It sounds nothing like the rest of the album, though, and the b-side "Idaho" (a somber, somewhat overwrought number that clearly deserves it place as a B-side) is another thing entirely, heavily orchestrated and heavy on Mr. Hannon's exquisite vocal impact.
