I'm not bashing the song, because it's pretty, but the delay effect is what makes it sound complicated. He's not a virtuoso by any means.
I saw She and Him at ACL in 2010. Well worth the hour and a half wait out in the cold because of technical problems. I had never heard M. Ward's solo stuff before, though. Didn't imagine it would be so ambient.

Really catchy hook.

<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I'm not sure at what point in a guitarist's growth in abilities it becomes accurate to call him "virtuoso", but this guy has a strong command over many techniques. If you watch some of his other videos, one of the few things that can be criticized is his command over the tone of the guitar. Even then...not that much if you listen to a few of the songs where drastic changes in dynamics are an important part. "Virtuoso"...maybe not, but he's definitely greatly skilled.

That sucker is addictive. Vocalist is a guy, right?
The Japanese Popstars are actually three northern Irish dudes. It seems that the lack of vocals in their first album prompted them to acquire a certain vocalist as a curative measure for the second.
The first song I saw Andy McKee perform was the video for "Drifting" years ago. I remember that when the melody started and for the duration after, I smiled and smiled.
Poor bison(s). Cool tune, I like the electronica sound. Reminds me of Daft Punk. Maybe cause they're a french duo too?
As for what I'm listening to right now, it's a song by hip hop supergroup Haiku d'Etat. The group consists of already well known solo and group artists Aceyalone (known for his Find Out joint in the movie You Got Served), Abstract Rude (of Abstract Tribe Unique) and Mikah 9 (of the Freestyle Fellowship).
The song's called Coup de Theatre (as is the album) and the reason I like it is because each member gets a beat to rhyme to.
I like the first one most which is by Abstract Rude (I once posted a song by Ghost featuring him called Basic Instinct in this thread).
He uses the phrase "To speak with an eloquent word is to, in essence, kill a mockingbird" which kind of leaves to the imagination to what it might mean and keeps you (read: me) thinking.
The complexity of both beat and rhyme in combination with the contents of the lyrics gives out this gray image of theatre.
Have a listen:
