This was the first handsome family song I heard. 20 years ago I walked into a band practice and they were singing this, and when they were done I said "this is the best thing you've ever written!"
Oops.
Brett builds his own pinecasters and loves to talk teles, by the way. I'd be surprised if he doesn't at least read this forum now and then.
Brett and Rennie are here in ABQ. Very nice people. Brett even gave advice on some of our mixes.
Their songs are enigmatic, magical, depressing and uplifting. The melodies work perfectly with their lyrics...amazing musicians.
