    This is such a great song for acoustic guitar! When I first heard this on The Handmaid's Tale I thought it had a 1960's flavor to it and I was right. It was recorded in 1969 and released 1970. It would've been the music I listened to as a small child.

    How have I gone my whole life without hearing this song. It's been my dream for years and years to play guitar and sing for people. Which I know how to do, I just haven't put myself out there. No sound systems, no stage or lights or even a fixed audience. Just me and my acoustic on maybe some windy boardwalk along the beach in the off season. October, maybe November.. Around 10am, with a few small shops open. A couple walks down the ramp holding hands looking at each other. To my right maybe a dad is pointing out seagulls to his kid. One or 2 people gather next to me who are really paying full attention, they might talk about it later on when they're watching tv that night. People getting coffee and just living a normal day, only I get to be a small part of it. Out of everything I've been listening to for ideas of what to cover, this fits like no other. I believe I could perform this and have it sound, authentic, you know?

      I am a huge fan of his voice. His lyrics are always so visceral and pointed, while being oddly vague. When he goes into the "blood-spewed heavens" bits, I often cry as well.
      I feel like in his strongest atheistic expressions, he reaches an undeniable closeness to religiosity and faith like a lot of other famous artists that let their atheism drive their content, like Lovecraft especially.

    And him leading you such a chase

    and you got another for me
