A friend recently showed me The Front Bottoms so I've been listening to them and the newest Vampire Weekend Album a lot. I can't find the whole album but one of my favorites is Hanna Hunt.

Hannah Hunt is my favorite song off of that album, as well. It's nearly otherwordly-sounding and so quiet and delicate.

Some backstory behind that song: Hannah Hunt was a college friend of the band's. Ezra Koenig (the lead singer) met her in a Buddhism class about seven years ago. The song's been in the making ever since - reportedly because he liked her name.

Delicate is a great word for the beginning which builds so well into the end of the song when he starts to belt it out. And thanks for the background, it was seven years well spent.
