Today, it gets an elaborate video treatment that was written and directed by Will Sheff himself. It a winding narrative that stars Tim Blake Nelson (who you may recognize from O Brother Where Art Thou?, Holes, or, more recently, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) as a priest who presides over Sheff's funeral.
