Just objectively, listening to the song, what do you subjectively feel?
This is one of my favorites! I feel like the entire album is made of really good, and unique tracks, but since you asked about this one in particular...
I feel nostalgic for something, not quite definable, that I never experienced. A mix of cozy and wistful.
If you enjoy that song, make sure you give the whole album a go. Also wanna plug an alternate take (take 2, very rough), because it's an interesting listen if you're familiar with the original recording.

The final version (that made it to the album) is actually a speed-adjusted splice between take 7 and take 26.

But what do you feel, like physically or emotionally and detached from any cultural or reputational lens?
I reckon it's impossible to filter out my emotional reaction to the song's cultural baggage.
