Supposedly recorded shortly before his death, Elliott’s take on the Cat Stevens classic wasn’t published until Mike Mills’ terrific film “Thumbsucker” came out in 2005.
Prescient. And so Elliott, right down to the false starts.
That chord change in the bridge just melts/breaks my heart.
I miss him almost every day. đź’”

I’ve shed more tears to this than prob any other song… found this right around the time he passed away. Was early into my senior year of high school. So many feelings…

Admittedly the Songs:Ohia original is untouchable (RIP Jason Molina)
But damn if this ain’t amazing.
I had never imagined it as a country duet before and it is lovely. đź’”

The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God
"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."
God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
