Don’t let your silly dreams, fall in between, the crack of the bed and the wall… ~My Morning Jacket
The beautiful simplicity of this song is it’s finest quality. One acoustic guitar, one gentle voice. Not every song can stand with its bare bones showing, and still be lovely. This one is best in its spare and unvarnished state.
I am notoriously hard to buy presents for. And I can’t fake enthusiasm for a gift I do not like. One year, for my birthday my good friend Rob managed to get me not just one good present, but THREE! It was a never to be repeated perfect present storm. And one of the things he gave me was the Acoustic Citsuoca album by My Morning Jacket. It is a fantastic EP and charmingly, it was recorded on Halloween. This displayed a level of planning and sentiment I have still not entirely gotten over being touched by.
