I still say that, in the video at least, it sounds like he's singing "orrery" rather than "all around me."

And he definitely sings "among" rather than "amongst."

I can't check the recording from the album, since I don't have it, and it seems to have been deleted from his MySpace page.

I guess if you want to sing this song, you've got to sing whatever makes most sense to you. I just hope that, if "orrery" is an unfamiliar word to you, you at least make an effort to find out what it is, before you decide to sing "all around me."
