Politan
I heard this song on "A Prairie Home Companion" last week and was hypnotized by it. Such a pretty tune, such a lovely voice, and such haunting lyrics. She sang it slower on the show, which I think was better, but hey, it's still pretty great.
Do you like it too? Take a listen...

Oh, at the end...the voice of the island? If it sounds familiar, that's because it's the voice of the guy from Schoolhouse Rock, who did innumerable voices for that wonderful series. "I'm Just a Bill" ring any bells?
