This is such an incredible, moving song. I've probably listened to it over 100 times and it is as close to perfection as any band could ever strive/hope for. What stands out to me in particular (without knowing exactly what instruments the band used) - are reverb, harmonica, pedal steel guitar. It truly amazes me how someone can write something so beautiful on paper and work with a group of truly gifted musicians to transform intensely private feelings into a song. That is not an easy thing to do, as it must involve revealing very personal thoughts. I will never really understand how it is done, and that's ok because I like that mystery. Mr. Granduciel's voice is so many things to me - haunting, ethereal, poignant, striking, and aesthetically stunning. The sheer amount of work the band must have done to make this song sound the way it does just represents an outstanding dedication to art - there is nothing easy about making music like this. I have never written any song review, been listening to music nonstop for about 35 years. There are so many songs, yet only a few can move me the way this one does. I've only been to a handful of concerts (not into crowds) however if I ever got the chance to see them, I would go. Thank you for making this extraordinary music. |
