All the while, Feist gasps out soft narrative lyrics interspersed with an eerie harmony. After her husband is swallowed, the wife dons a retro-science fiction swim apparatus to search for him. Although the ending is ambiguous, the candle that has lit the scene is blown out in its final moments, so I wouldn’t hold out too much hope for the couple’s future together.
