In my mind he is the greatest musician ever. His voice and song and exquisite skill to create melodies and stories are unparalleled. He is my life’s musician. I bow down.

[@husq48]

🤯😱😳

[@JC-kd9qy]

He's one of the last great songwriters, straight from the heart to the gut. Genius

[@Frankybeanselevators]

Better than Mozart??

[@maurod6180]

I completely agree. Damien Jurado changed my life. My dream is travel to eeuu and listen his songs live.. Regards from Argentina.

[@kahalakohl4010]

The older he gets the more he looks like his Dad. I never tire of listening to him sing.

[@MartinaSunSánchezHernández]

😢 totally

[@catcat1517]

I grew up in Ohio and have been living in the PNW for 10 years. This song cuts right to the soul-such beautifully melancholy. ❤️

[@applebark7764]

I also grew up in Ohio, my whole life actually, and am currently in the process of moving to the PNW, at age 19. Just made the drive out of Ohio, this song hits me on such a deep level as well.

[@deeliciousplum]

Oh? A pleasant surprise. I do like the colours/tones of Damien's singing voice. 🌺

[@eightosaurusspelunk1598]

... colors? Like green and blue?

[@realexkav]

@@eightosaurusspelunk1598 to speak of color in relation to vocals is perfectly normal

[@eightosaurusspelunk1598]

@@realexkav It's pretentious. I can understand shades, perhaps, like "dark" or "bright", but that's even stretching it. It isn't possible to describe a voice with colors.

[@arturomontilla5073]

Synesthesia.

[@shafinr]

@@eightosaurusspelunk1598 Colouration has always been used to vaguely describe tone/texture/quality/timbre of sounds. Not everything that you can't understand has to be pretentious :)

[@AndresHernandez-ks9kn]

I was obsessed with this song in my undergrad. Happy to say I understand why. Thank you Damien for your amazing music

[@robot_hitcher]

Best version of this song hands down.

[@frothywalrus]

This is one of my favorite songs ever. So beautiful.

[@MQFahey]

Holy moly, that's good!

[@laceycheatham7953]

This song has gotten me through so much for many years now. I was born in Ohio and have a very similar story. One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@MartinaSunSánchezHernández]

Same

[@MartinaSunSánchezHernández]

Every time I hear it I get goosebumps

[@leighdickens5200]

Thank you Damien. Listening with my heart.

[@EamonONeill-h4o]

The Heart of it All

[@champagneben]

Jurado is a beautiful singer and brings joy to all of my family

[@lucilwinchester]

Damien Jurado is pure gold. Please protect this man at all costs!

[@guidutoit]

I thought he'd stopped playing this song live, awesome to hear it live again!!!

[@germasaurus]

I’ve loved this song for many many years. Wow! :)

[@chottstuff]

I had the pleasure of seeing Damian play Rehearsals for departure in its entirety years ago and assumed I wouldnt ever again. This is a great surprise and I like the small changes he made to Ohio.

[@MartinaSunSánchezHernández]

I wish I could , he brings joy to my ears

[@nikolausklinger489]

discovered him yesterday, what a wonderful music!! thank yall

[@arturomontilla5073]

Un cantautor con todo el derecho de estar en KEXP. Solo en el ruedo, de suave rasgeo su guitarra y dulce voz. Profundo sentimiento del alma.

[@mIsanthropius]

Recording and mastering is always perfect at KEXP

[@traciayala5044]

OMG KEXP...Thank you so much for sharing this gentleman. I actually sat down and listened. Reminded me of my childhood in the 90's type of music that meant something and you could feel it with your everything. Can't wait to do my research and listen to more of this.

[@chottstuff]

this song is from the 90s! haah

[@johnirving3047]

Thank you KEXP!

[@nerolilaine9973]

I hope he reschedules his tour soon! :) There is nothing more beautiful than this

[@rubyrayne8]

Beautiful song.

[@KERRYBARTRABER]

Yes

[@andyperez7342]

Freaking beautiful

[@pablotope3070]

Keepin the music goin strong Damien!

[@vinisius]

Awesome!

[@sr9094]

Like very few other tunes, this one always takes me out of what I’m in and puts me standing on a sidewalk, waving at taxis. Damien Jurado has been my favorite musician for 20 years because he tells a story perfectly. Ohio is the apex of this genre of lyrical storytelling.

[@lamontbutler6338]

This has aged so well and so has he!

[@MartinaSunSánchezHernández]

I think his music does not age

[@MartinaSunSánchezHernández]

I love u Damien 😍

[@benjohnson3022]
