this is an absolutely fucking brilliant song. the album is spectacular. it sounds like the best of mid 70's psych-folk but there is no need to compare it to any other bands because it stands alone as a reminiscent yet fresh and original sound.

Ben Burton So very well said. Yes. JW is pretty close to it, for me, musically. Every record he puts out is brilliant. At least to my mind they are. And then there’s his touring with Tom a Petty, producing music by Roger Waters and having killer (people in the know might call it legendary) Laurel Canyon parties. Crosby and Nash stopping over to jam. I mean...wow! 🤙🏼❤️🌞

This song began playing on the NPR station while my son screamed in his car seat. He suddenly stopped crying, then began to cry again when it ended. So I took note of this but dismissed it as a fluke. Since then when we drive (he hates being in the car seat) I play it on repeat and he will stay calm. When I stop playing it he freaks out again. So, who cares what I think of this song? My 15 week old apparently loves it!! Thank you!!
