...glides, taps, leaps, and literally flies through the frame. The video opens up to a suit-clad Walken sitting alone in an empty hotel lobby. The music, like Walken’s crisp red tie, is perfectly tailored to his movements, with its quick pulses over a steady dance tempo. As the music starts, he starts bopping his head to the beat, and that characteristic Walken gleam enters his eye.He’s got a lot to gleam about; the man has more pizzazz than Mikhail Baryshnikov, Napoleon Dynamite, and Jennifer Lopez combined.

Eight minutes long, it has an inherent majesty that initially expresses itself in the song’s languid tempo. Reminiscent of Icelandic dronesters Sigur Ros in its grandeur, “Dondante” builds until James’ voice drops out and a guitar plays a mellow riff-based solo. At the 3:29 mark, light drum hits set up a truly breath-taking vocalization of deceptively simple words...
