Surely one of the most underated bands of all time

[@MarcDeArmey]

One of those rare songs that makes me cry every time i hear it

[@Sogonrei]

This song cuts deep. It makes me wish i had more time with my grandfathers. It is beautiful and whole and so pure. I only have two pictures of my grandfathers, they both died when I was one. In my dad's fathers photo he is holding me, feeding me a bottle, very tenderly, talking gently and protectively and gruff. In the picture with my mothers father, he is very skinny from cancer, and standing outside with me by his prized garden, and taking all his strength to hang out with me. This song reminds me of his soft thick Irish brogue. He used to bounce me to sleep and to sing to me da, da, dee, and sing Irish songs.

I can't even express how much this song moves me

At work on a regular Thursday 11am and i just couldnt help the tears " I hear the ghost whisper, and those old eyes watching me But I feel safe… Grandfather looking over me " Its amazing how this guys can make you feel their music, my grandpa passed away Dec 07 of last year. I still remember him going through some cd's he had collected over the years of old Jazz he used to enjoy. I missed him a lot

Every time I play this album I repeat this song at least 3 times. PS. My husband and I heard " Seasons" while shopping at our grocery store and proceeded to have a mini dance party in the cleaning isle.

[@nolanwinkler]

My husband's favorite from SINGLES. I love it, too, but for the live o'me, I don't think I could select a favorite. Love them all. ALL.

[@garce7184]

This some gave me strength when my grandparents passed and it continues to thank the creator for these guy's..😇

[@Lil-Bit]

Incredibly handsome man radiating from his soul, inconceivable love

[@BonhamsBongo]

A perfect marriage of poetry, sound and performance.

[@strictlynorton]

Nathaniel Hornblower Great analysis of F.I. This particular performance is very special though. A killer band who as seen here can really cut it live.

[@jenjawhite]
