my wife and I own a small bike shop in Kentucky. Its our slow season and the shop is just deserted. When this song came on I walked over and she gave me a hug. Turned into a slow dance through the vocals.
What a treat.
Thanks Bill.
Its something so subtle, but I love it when the sax eases in with the musician just breathing into it, first note.
I now listen to this song at least once a week. Ah, just..comfort.
What a nice story. I grew up in southern Ohio.We often traveled to your area of KY. My Aunt and Uncle owned a small farm in Stab KY. We would have a blast crawing into the caves on the property and surrounding areas. Lots of underground rivers and steams in the area. These caves where not even on maps. We always wondered who and when was the last person ever in these caves. Some where a major hikes from the roads.
Thanks Parrothead,
I live about 20 miles from Stab and have done many trips through the areas caves as a teenager. I have been 2 or 3 hours back into a cave, crawling on my belly and found markings and scriblings dated over 100 years old, as well as dust covered campfires that could easily have dated to 1,000 years old and older. Its just amazing. We are merely passing through this world, one line of thousands before us and thousands to come. We are a blessed bunch.
The feel of this song is just so sweet, so deep, I love the groove it puts me in as I sit and worry about all of lifes pressures. Just lifts the burden for 3 minutes. Its a nice moment.
From the 'how could I be both blind AND stupid' admission files. Seen this album cover a few thousand times since I was young and remember the song from its release in '78. But until today, just now, did I look at it and realize it was a view from a plane and that the waitress on the cover is playing the statue of liberty. Holy cow I cant believe I just admitted that.....
I read this comment ages ago. It is so lovely and touching that I can't help but think of your comment every time this song comes on.
Thanks again. Checking in nearly another decade later. Still appreciate your kind comment. -bike coach Dave
Norah Jones AND Danger Mouse, hard to go wrong here.
