    i used to drive my old man around the back roads of his hometown listening to your music.i think it worked for the both of us,thanks! he's gone now,but i still have great memories...ya know?

      I currently do the same with my old man once in a while. He loves THF ever since I introduced them to him. I try to cherish every moment, it is all so fleeting. Sorry for your loss but glad for the memories you created.

    Your music digs deep down to speak with my soul. This song in particular. It evokes emotions in me I can’t explain, like grieving over a fond memory of something that never really happened. Your melodies and lyrics sound like you reached inside the earth and pulled them out by the roots. Thank you both for what you create.

    The “anything to feel weightless” line has been haunting me for weeks since I heard this song. Love it.

      I've seen your videos on my feed and never gave them a chance until I seen this comment. I love the Handsome Family, so I figured I'd check your stuff out. Wow. You are very talented! Glad for this song that ended up being the catalyst to check your channel out! I'm definitely a fan now.

    Probably the greatest song ever written on the death of love. Heartbreaking and utterly beautiful.

    This is the first song I heard by them. Then I bought the album and was hooked. I bought every single album since. This song is great, but is just a taste. I sold everyone of my CDs one desperate winter except my HF CDs. There music is the soundtrack of my life. They are my favorite band, hands down.

    I’ve been through some hectic times, and music like this just makes me feel relaxed and as if I am sitting in Front of a fire with nothing to worry about.

      So Much Wine was the first of their songs I heard, early this century.
      I've been hooked ever since.

    A girl showed me this album & this song while I was going to film school in Denton, TX back in 2006? I’ve always had a thing for sad/deep music & I think she knew I’d like it. We hope you guys come to Texas or somewhere nearby! I did not know Jeff Tweedy was on Through the Trees 🌲 🌳

    Every single song I have heard of you, are songs I feel mandatory to learn the lyrics of, and sing along every time they are played. Nuff said!

    We stopped for coffee in the Redwood forest
    Giant dripping leaves, spoons of powdered cream
    I wanted to kiss you but I wasn't sure how
    Like those Indians, lost in the rain forest
    Forced to drag burning wood wherever they went
    They had all forgotten how to start a fire
    This is why people OD on pills and jump from the Golden Gate Bridge
    Anything to feel weightless again
    Those poor lost Indians when the white man found them
    Most died of TB, the rest went insane
    In our motel room, you're drinking Slice and gin
    Reading Moby Dick on the other bed
    Remember the first time we slept together
    You said it felt like when you learned to float
    This is why people OD on pills and jump from the Golden Gate Bridge
    Anything to feel weightless again
