Big Thief - "Mary"

By far my favorite song of the year, and honestly would probably make the top 10 of the decade so far if I really thought about that list.

[teekoh]

My vote is still with 'Haley', but that song is incredible, too.

Since summer is coming to a close, I think it's safe to say that "Passionfruit" was the SotS.
