AnarchoNinaWritesThis next track, How Beautiful You Are is another example of Smith's use of literary allusion to tell a complete story in song; this time he's referencing the Charles Baudelaire poem "The Eyes of The Poor." A hidden gem, the song is built around deliciously jangling guitar, layered keyboards and a haunting synth-based "violin" solo. Thematically the track explores the idea of suddenly discovering the love of your life and presumed soulmate is a pretty horrible person.
