One of the things I love about this song is that the english horn (cor anglais or bent horn even though the instrument is neither english nor a horn) is one of the key instruments in the song. Youtube just reminded me that my other favorite double reeded instrument, the bassoon, was a key part of Smokey Robinson's most famous song, Tears of a Clown.

One of the things I don't love about "new" music is that it often doesn't include actual musical instruments.
