It’s been almost a decade and I still come to this song when I’m lost. Elliot wrote the hell out of this song and you sang the hell out of it. Plus this arrangement really highlights Elliott’s unique style of song writing. Just amazing. Been sober for almost four years now and it’s strange who this song was with me on both sides. Not all of my musical tastes made the transition but this did.
