This is one of the most exquisitely penetrating, earnest songs I’ve heard in a really long time.
In The Summertime (backstage at Bottom Of The Hill, SF) – Rural Alberta Advantage

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson
Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.

I haven’t heard the song yet, but I think I already feel the same about the photograph.

I’d like to believe the words are true, but can’t right now.

Imagine hearing Nils playing this to you and one other person. It was amazing.

I’m in love. With the song. And your blog.
