Goddam, son. Beautiful. There's a great feeling of minimalist fullness, if that makes any sense: just enough in the arrangement (the piano, the tremelo vibe) to really hit that Oh Hell Yes part of the gut, and not a smidgen more. posted by cortex at 7:55 AM on

I'm still on the RPM fence. I originally recorded this for the new album proper, but now I am not sure. posted by goodnewsfortheinsane at 9:43 AM on

This is really beautiful and inspriring. Re: minimalist fullness, hell yea. I've always been a fan of simple but meaningful structure and you nailed it. Put me on your fan club mailing list. posted by snsranch at 4:08 PM on

I couldn't hear it yesterday, now that I came back to hear it I'm mind blown. It's a really good song, mate. What did you use to record it?
Just an opinion, if you are going to put this song in an album, I think it would make a great hidden track. I think the hiss of the recording serves the mood of this song. Post more, yeah? posted by micayetoca at 5:18 AM on

micayetoca, it's spanish guitar and vocals live, spaced pair of MXL 990s (LDC) at fret hand (facing down) and near bridge, vocals SM-58 without ball, pop filter in front. Window was open, hence the traffic. Rhodes and piano were VSTs recorded after the fact. posted by goodnewsfortheinsane at 7:06 PM on
