BleuPanda told me to make this thread and I told them I didn't think I'd lurked enough, but for Pete's sake someone's got to do it so we can talk about Caroline Polachek.
This song has everything you could want: religious imagery that's numinously spooky almost to the point of blasphemy, AND cum metaphors. What is this, my honeymoon?
Aforementioned ethereal quality is augmented by Polachek's eerily beautiful voice. Music video adds to the effect as well. Worth a watch!
