Really love the minimalist work you’ve been doing. Always love your vocals, but the combinations of the two timbres here is fantastic. Love the combo strung/pick style you have in the guitar.

Oh damn, when you jump to the falsetto at 2:40. Magnificent.

Really glad you caught up with this old friend. Beautiful.


Lovely. Just beautiful. I love all your voice-and-instrument solo songs but this one sounded particularly organic and spontaneous, it "just is", perfect because it is exactly what it wants to be. Wonderful.

hey if you have more classics bring them all back this was awesome!

Every week I highly enjoy your work. You are giving so many precious vibes to weekly beats and I am always flashed by the substance of your performances. Moments like this are legendary. Thank you, sir.

I like how you've performed this 20 year old classic in the same minimalist style as the last few tracks, so it fits in seamlessly with them.  Getting some great sounds with just the guitar and vocals.  While I admittedly enjoy some bells and whistles, sometimes it's perfect without them.

I'm really digging these last few, more stripped down "six strings & a voice" songs.  You have such great vocal tone, and it's really highlighted in arrangements like this.  Very nicely done sir. 

amazing stuff, really nice song and a perfect minimal atmosphere, love your voice

Love the intimate sound of this as with your previous weeks.  The sound of the guitar and just the room feel are excellent.  Ooof excellent melody with your vocals at 2:42.  Felt like I was on a swing set thinkin about the past listening to this with your lyrics painting the picture.  So glad Emily had you bring this one back.  On a slightly different note well different song:
With your falsetto in this I reminded of my walk in da park Monday morning.  Had my amazon music app on random and The Rutabega's "Buried in the snow" came on smile  Love the vocals and chorus in that.  Was the oooh oooh part inspired by any other songs or themes?  It felt very cinematic.  That song has a very similar comforting feeling to this but with more instruments smile The 'Did I Do..' section at the end heart Pardon my ramble, much enjoyed!
