this shows that he really saw Anne as the human being she was... either that or he's adressing the crowd-either way, such a Fucking Genuine guy... love u jeff

when i was in 5th grade, i was in this after school singing class and this was one of the songs our teacher had us sing. that was my first introduction to nmh. i’m 17 now, and they’ve been one of my favorite bands for years. i think about that music teacher a lot, i really hope she’s well.

There’s something magic about this demo, I can’t describe it but it’s magnificent.

[@rectoplasmic4630]

It’s the most pure version of the most pure and powerful song ever written. I still think the actual version is superior all around, but this one hits even closer to home because the core idea will always evolve the longer you wait to record something.

[@witchking2]

This song has always remained one of the most beautiful, enjoyable songs to me. Notwithstanding all the different albums I have listened to, and whilst considered 'basic' to your true music connoisseur, this album, prinicpally this song, will always remain my favourite listens of all time. Every now and then, I will go on a listening spree and have the album on repeat, constantly invoking tears of the sad memories from my past.

[@stevenshorten6184]

I miss her. So much.

[@adantinocofranco8708]

What a beautiful face I have found in this place That is circling all 'round the sun What a beautiful dream That could flash on the screen In a blink of an eye and be gone from me Soft and sweet Let me hold it close and keep it here with me And one day we will die And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea But for now we are young Let us lay in the sun And count every beautiful thing we can see Love to be In the arms of all I'm keepin' here with me What a curious life They have found here tonight There is music, there is sounds from the street There are lights in the clouds Anna's ghost all around Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me Soft and sweet How the notes all bend and reach above the trees And don't you worry now The world will open up its arms to you And all around your face The light's erasing everything What a beautiful face I have found in this place That is circling all 'round the sun And when we meet on a cloud I'll be laughing out loud I'll be laughing with everyone I see Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

This is magical.

[@steve7745]

Wow, I can't get over this version. I love the final cut, but there's something so wistful, nostalgic, bittersweet to this one. The album version feels in the moment and it always makes me think of the best parts of my life in a positive way, this version is like remembering something that's dear to you but just out of reach. Thanks for sharing, it's really something special, something I needed with how life's been going lately.

Does anyone still write their own lyrics anymore? I mean with everything shoved down the manufactured pipe.

You do realize that mainstream pop and rap arent the only things that still exist of course people write their own music check out Peach Pit they write their own songs and are amazing
