Reminds me of my grandson who died at the age of 27. This was one of his favorites. He sang like an angel, now he is one. I cry every time I hear this.
@@berthasghost7814 thank you for your comment. I will never stop remembering him. Some memories are heartbreaking but most are joyful and Im thankful that he was in my life.
I am so sorry for your loss. This album is a truly beautiful way to remember someone. It’s one of my favorites. I hope you and your family are finding some semblance of peace in healing.
Ive been getting into this album lately. its been cold here in Vancouver, like minus 10. I drive to work at like 430 in the morning, dark and ice cold. and this song comes on, little snowfalkes falling and me driving. its otherworldly.
still my favorite MOF song. I prefer the version on the record where M. Ward sings, but this version is also beautiful. Can visualize this song, although it has been long since I've travelled by train.
M Ward in the live version does this song alot more justice but this is so amazing! These guys together make each other better. Really hope they tour again soon!
I've listened to this album countless times. I still believe that this is the creme-de-la-creme of the whole effort. Should be an Americana classic, in my opinion.
if no other media such as news, tv, literature, existed besides MoF, the world might just get thrown into another Ice Age due to the level of chill that would follow listening to them all the time :)
Such an amazing version (i.e much better than the album one). It's strange - it's haunting but makes me feel very content. Can imagine travelling by train across the US listening to this non-stop.
No it's not. I Think it's definetly Will Johnson, drummer of MoF. He also sang this on the live show I was. His record 'Vultures Await' is something everyone must listen who likes MoF
@mkrugkill Love the comparison. I thought about a moder-day Traveling Wilburys after hearing Jenny Lewis' version of "Handle With Care" and it isn't too far off from this. I think someone like Ben Gibbard in the Orbison role would be awesome (as it was in that version) but I don't know that I'd ever want to hear a MoF song without Jim James in it!
@mkrugkill I would say that's a little off. Jim James is more relatable to George Harrison, and M. Ward has definitely got the Bob Dylan vibe going, with the glasses and scruffy voice. the others fit pretty nicely
if ever there was a second half to #newmultitudes and the music of woody guthrie which ultimately presented a great divide upon principles and beliefs no one had any awareness because words and content can be an antithesis and not praise
This is absolute magic. I revisit it once every few years and it still hits just like the first time. These four create something that can't be described, or reproduced.
This is modern day Traveling Wilburys! Jim James to Roy Orbison Mike Mogis to Jeff Lyne Conor Oberst to Tom Petty and Bob Dylan and M. Ward to George Harrison This is a large amount of talent and love and i love all of it!
@derpusderp It does sound good! I have the album too and noticed that as well, but I honestly like MWard better, but it's still really great! Peace to you.
