XTC is one of those bands I've never appreciated 100%. I have probably fewer than half of their albums and a scattering of other singles. But there's no denying that they do have some bangers. And I was instantly won over by this late-career track, gorgeous and sweeping, mystical and cheeky.
When my kids were little I made them CDs to listen to that were mostly Beatles music (my oldest was big into the "Yellow Submarine" movie), but this was one of the ringers I stuck on there. Entirely possible they think it's a Beatles song...
