Painted Hills

(Bird Song) Looking at the notes I took while listening to this I am resigned to not even try to make them make sense or put them into sentence form. See if this is cryptic enough for ya:
"haunting, but haunting like friendly ghost -- more optimistic ghost than Casper -- Athens, GA meets Sgt. Pepper...or does it. sombrero." In fairness to the band, my handwriting is a little messy and I may have written "sombrely" there, but i don't think that's a word.
