      A huge part of me understands your frustration, but I truly do not think a studio version will ever top this. You know those bands and musicians who will play songs live and they’re just undeniably better? I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong... but I think we accept this as the official majesty snowbird because it’s hard for me to fathom that even an official studio recording will ever top it

      @@ck675 yes honestly we are probably lucky we never got a studio version because there is no way it would have lived up to this. suf's stuff is almost always better live, just compare Planetarium live to the album. We can only hope that when he tours again he might play this song and we can enjoy a better live recording.

      @@ck675there’s a version of this song on Spotify, by Michael Edwards, who has like a few thousands stream and I think it’s pretty good! It’s very different but it makes it unique. My point is that even if it doesn’t top what already exists isn’t a reason to try and do it, and eventually make something new out of it.

      It’s a very common thing for musicians, especially those with a vast discography, to toy around with recordings for years and years, until the time comes when they feel like the song is ready to be released to the world in proper form. Perhaps one of the best examples of this is Radiohead - so many songs you know and love today were teased and played at shows many years before being officially released.
      So, that all being said, bask in this recording that we have and just be patient. We might get it some day... but at the end of the day, all I can think of is how grateful I am for this exact recording itself.

      You are so lucky! My sister introduced me in 2009 but I was too into Daft Punk and the Killers to care. Luckily over time with the help of Seven Swans I built up layers of nostalgia for his music. It's so hard to introduce people to his music though.

    Lyrics:
    Rain bird, laughing in the olive tree, la la dee-dah
    Collared shirt, with the alabaster altarpiece you made for me
    Summer sweet, and some forgiven; your advice is all that seems to matter much to me
    Call it sweet, call it something paradise
    Is it the right word? (Is it the right word?) Is it for you?
    Is it the broken word? (Is it the broken word?) Is it good advice, for you?
    Is it the half-as-sweet? (Is it the half-as-sweet?) Is your smile for me?
    Is it mysterious? (Is it mysterious?) Is it something ripe and sweet?
    Snowbird, your sister said she needed me, la la dee-dah
    Show them first, show them what you did for me, la la dee-dah
    Quiet talk and little soldier sent beneath, and epaulettes that covered every shoulder
    Stutter sweet, come take, forget the things I said, to please
    Is it the right word? (Is it the right word?) Is it for you?
    Is it the broken word? (Is it the broken word?) Or good advice I need?
    Is it the tapestry? (Is it the tapestry?) Set beneath my wings
    Is it mysterious? (Is it mysterious?) Mysterious, indeed
    Don't stop, don't break, you can delight because you have a place
    Quiet room, I need you now
    Is it the right word? (Is it the right word?)
    Is it the broken word? (Is it the broken word?)
    Is it the majesty? (Is it the majesty?)
    Is it the half-as-sweet? (Is it the half-as-sweet?)
    Is it the right word? (Is it the right word?)
    Is it the broken word? (Is it the broken word?)
    Come to me, half-as-sweet (Come to me, half-as-sweet)
    Come to me, majesty (Come to me, majesty)
    Don't stop, don't break, you can delight because you have a place
    Don't stop, don't break, you can delight because you have a place
    Don't stop, don't break, you can delight because you have a place
    Don't stop, don't break, you can delight because you have a place
    Don't stop, don't break, you can delight because you have a place
    Quiet room, I need you now

    I was blessed to be present for his butterfly tour in Durham NC unfortunately under the cruel stricture of lamictal forced on me by misguided physicians at the time..yep. I couldn't form words to my friend who was with me, but I remember every moment of that performance. I fired all the socalled doctors, detoxed from their shit medications and found over time ,y own path to sanity. But this guy has been instrumental in my remaining connected to my sense of self. Doing find these many days later.

      zimbloggy Wow this is incredible, I did not think you would reply to this comment since it’s been 9 years. It would be amazing for an offical release sadly I don’t think we’ll ever get one or at least not in the foreseeable future because it’s not on the track list for his upcoming album. It’s a shame tho, such an incredible song.
