The third track on Josh Ritter’s latest album So Runs the World Away, is a bizarrely wonderful tale about a love between a mummy and an archeologist.  The song is a great little waltz with a rather captivating story if you listen carefully to the lyrics.

Now, thanks to Josh Ritter’s drummer, Liam Hurley, the song has a video to help tell the story.  Hurley, who moonlights as a marionette puppeteer sculpted the puppets and the created the entire set for the video and shot the whole thing in his Brooklyn apartment.

Check out the video below.  If you are interested in more about the video, check out the full story over at NPR.
