Protect this man at all costs. There are but two kinds of people in this world: those who don’t know who he is, and those who are like he’s a freaking genius.
I’m from Franklin Ohio. About 20 mins from Dayton. I worked with a guy named John shough at a restaurant about 3 years ago. He showed me his music he made and I loved it but I never knew he worked with guided by voices. I don’t work there anymore and neither does he. I went to his house once and had a great time. It’s a shame I wasn’t a fan of the group yet and he never told me he worked with them. I probably missed out on a lot of cool stories
I am the biggest GBV fan and I’ve always adored his songs on those albums, and I always enjoyed Sprout’s solo albums, but Empty Horses is transcendent, amazing. Truly touching.
Just wonderful, perfectly understated, beautiful writing, playing and singing. The man is a master writer and has been for so long, incredibly underappreciated.
I played (me actually playing and singing) this song for my mom’s 90th birthday. She liked the “folds her hand” bit, ‘cause she’s kind of religious. I hope I didn’t infringe on any copyright issues.
