I've been feeling a bit twee lately-acoustic guitars and mandolins tend to make me happy as a clam. In that spirit I present to you Everything But the Girl's twee cover of Simon and Garfunkel's The Only Living Boy in New York, as twee as they come.
Even the video, shot by Hal Hartley, is twee, with lots of staring out the windows and contemplating the wee clouds and the lovely buildings and the great spectacle of the universe.
