@@AT-ol2yj it’s called Espalier pruning. An ancient technique, still used today here in Oregon. It was created by monks in old monastery orchard fruit trees. Song writing as a horticultural horizon!..my PhD dissertation in music 1992
The constant note that ignites this song holds infinitely upon the frequencies of life. It will always be there waiting to see you! Waiting to be heard by your sons and daughters and their sons & daughters who will always recognize that note.......forever!!! Thats a comfort of great song writing that few can capture so beautifully!
Brilliant, just brilliant Doug! I can still remember the day I picked this up at Record Revolution, then haled it back down to Kent and listening to it before band practice.
never knew for awhile now that this was Dougs song, this version is interesting, the higher vocals makes it easier to hear too i might have to spin this a few times and try and memorize the words so im not relying on far out echolalia if i see 'em play it live again
fenderwoods both songs will always be written by one man, Doug Gillard, henceforth its his forever whether sung by him, Robert Pollard or Robert Plant. Its Dougs song and its forever beautifully designed for you and me and everyone. We are blessed!
It kinda is more "raw" than GBV's first "produced version". i always liked Sprouts songs, too. youre not the fool...that person probably doesnt know someone other than bob sang on their best albums. usually 2 or 3 songs...this is great. wonder if the poster knows Cobra Verde? i'm guessing no.
One of the great ironies ever in the universe: Robert Pollard did NOT write this song, and a Pollard is a type of tree.
and writes 5 songs on the crapper...and 3 will be good ones! (his quote). Sprouts songs are all top notch.
It’s a pruning technique, but still…

hopefully you kept it, its worth more than my car now
Holy Smokes! Never heard this - never knew this existed -- THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Doug Gillard for writing this song, one of my all-time favorite GBV songs. Saw these guys last week and they killed it live, of course.
This has a wonderful warm feel...
LOVE LOVE LOVE.................................
The bass is nicely distinguishable on this version.
WHOA! This blows my mind.
Such a lovely solo!!!
Really hope they play this one this Saturday in Hollywood.
oh yes!!1 i only just came across this today and then had to hunt a better audio.... and here you were- thanks mate!
Love the wee breakdown that starts after 2.55
and the outro

It's all there except for Pollard's voice. Really great tune.
i wish they let Toby sing more, he's a good "break" and all his gbv songs were A+
Great song
amazing
... segue into Days of Broken Arrows (alternate version) by Idyll Rays
Save that 12" it is worth some money.. this is one of my Fav songs of all time.
It’s not goin anywhere.
This is better than the GBV version.

love the outro. GBV was never as good as these peak years. Gotta watch out for "Bob worshipers"
absolutely.
