This song reminds me of being young and in love, then finally finding the one person who makes you realize what love really is. My wife and I used to be rangers in the Forest Service. Before we dated we used to walk the woods near our station and ID plants and trees until it got dark out. It was such a simple and beautiful time. For me, this song is perfect.
James Mercer is truely a master of his trade, i believe he could be the most talented musician of our time and its really so sad that so many people are missing out on this music.
I usually hate every version of this done in acoustic but for some reason this version brought a tear to my eye and a warmth to my heart!!! MUSIC IS THE BEST!!!!
Magnificent. A true artist and wordsmith, not sure about his overall reputation so I may be wrong but I think he's totally underrated. His lyrics across his work are absolutely beautiful, insightful and devastating at times. A bit of a genius tbh for me. Bravo x
What a great song. Mercer's pitch control is just so good.
Re-visit - it's magnificent, lyrics especially x
James Mercer is truly one of the greatest vocalists I've ever heard. I get chills.
