Oct 7, 2008 - Hey. I'm sorry. I was just seeing if the comment thing was working. Alright so in the ver beginning of the vid, there's this great song. It's got the jangly guitar. I think it's beautiful. I was wondering if you knew what the song was called, or if anyone knows the song? Is it the verlaines, or
