sounds like.
One of the better parts of Donnie Darko.

it's here because.
I heard my dad listening to this song I'm sure a gazillion times before it fully resonated with me when I heard it in Richard Kelly's dumb, overrated but nonetheless entertaining Donnie Darko. There underpinning Jake Gyllenhaal having a cycle around at dawn looking vulnerable and sexy was where it first grabbed me. I was reminded by ever dour Ian McCulloch of course that I had heard his haunting intoning before but man ... such a good track.

The line "faith, up against your will" is amazingly powerful in this vague sort of way - that's the song right there - and apparently it's the line Ian had in his head that spurned him to write the whole damn thing. I'm glad he did.
