Enjoy.
Quick analysis. Clearly part of the vibe of this song comes from how slow the chords move - they're so minimal yet powerful and last 12 bars in all, and I just love that change from Bmajor to F minor.

I'm only borrowing it from a friend. I really really wish I could keep it though. He has all the coolest instruments.

Yeah I like a lot of uncommon instruments too. You can get a lot of folk instruments for not very much money. I would really like to get a kalimba. You can make simple ones pretty easily, but I want a fancy one like that.

Ha, I've been playing (trying to anyway) it on my Glockenspiel.

edit: I guess the diminished part is something assumed. I don't actually hear a B being played, but the chord before is a B Major so it leads into a diminished. It's very solemn, especially the movement to the tonic. It sounds like hope being obliterated, but then that B Maj chord comes again and the hope is restored.
