Damn I'll never forget the first time I heard this, we always partied in my buddies cabin and back then he didn't have any internet out there so it was all radio and mp3s. But on a typical night we were listening to KEXP and having some beers. I remember when this came on I wrote "Cotton Jones" on a piece of paper to look it up later. One of my favorite albums, it always takes me back to those times.
2022 for me, now I’m at the level where I can just sing along to it all. If you haven’t searched it yet check out “ spinning wheel/ midnight Monday, and a telescope “ live version on RUclips. It’s how that song is really supposed to sound like I feel. Pure sonic greatness! Cheers
I heard this song for the first time a few days ago. I heard "I am the changer" many years ago. When I heard this song I thought it was Houndmouth.... glad it threw me back into Cotton Jones' album. Rediscovery is one of the best blessings of good music :)
I can’t believe I am just now discovering this band this amazing piece of work. Wow! This song is so awe inspiring and hits me on a different level. It’s difficult to begin to describe.
@@HalieCakes that's kind of why I like it. I was thinking it maybe had to do with that as well...and always making promises that you'll get better? I don't know for sure, but the mystery is what I like I suppose
@@lowellcarroll2442 I can see how it could be related to making promises that you'll get better as well. I enjoy the mystery as well :) That's the beauty of music.
Got yr own sound. Kind of a Luziana bayou sound. Kind of like cross Grateful Dead with New Orleans somebody. I can really feel the "personality", which is somethin missin in most bands. Other hand, the lyrics analytical, hortatory, didactic, pontificatin, and sometimes trivial, sometimes moody, which is not my bag, but some like it. SPURN THE MUSE!!
@Joshua Dowling The lead singer is still in his prime. Check out his recent solo material, which I am actually more privy to. But Cotton Jones is great, goes without saying.

i wish the world could revolve around places like this song

This song is a masterpiece (bass line, vocal melodies). Glad I discovered it (thank you, Spotify) in 2021, but wish it had been a bit sooner!
Same here!
Check out Page France if you haven’t heard them yet - amazing couple bands!

Everything fits together so well in this song, like a jigsaw puzzle. Pure masterpiece
Legends. This is really special I’ll listen to this song until the day I die. Goosebumps every time.
Im sad that I am only discovering this over 10 years later but I am so happy for this beautiful moment ✨
Covid brought me here! Can't believe I'm only hearing this for the first time in 2020
Haha! Me too buddy👍

Same! I heard these guys only last year. What incredible harmonies. Icouldn't believe I hadn't heard them before!
Better late than never, right?!

This reaches into a part of myself I can’t really get to on my own.
Feel completly the same way!

I know everyone says this on every KEXP performance but... DAMN this mix is unbelievable
Can’t believe I am just now seeing this….what a great song and performance!
helluva band. Wish I could get a copy of paranoid cocoon on vinyl. I also wish they still played together.

@@eitan8144were you tripping?
@@SuperHUMAND Maybe 🤔😏

big scarf and hat game in this
not even my most compelling shits have been as great as this song
I've always wondered if it was, a tiny tiny telecaster or a giant giant man. I bet on giant man
A beautiful giant. Wonder what he’s up to today
He looks so cool
ford amphitheater? WONDERFUL SHOW!!!
Any idea what this song is about? I've got some ideas...curious what others think
Lowell Carroll The way I perceive it is that someone is on drugs but they aren’t anymore. Honestly this songs lyrics are so hard to decipher.

Always felt like someone coming to terms with being an alcoholic and wanting to get better. Hope I'm not projecting lol
Honey I've be re-aranged
T.J. Is looking SEXY in this video
that's what she said
