Wow, what an awesome surprise! I love that video of him playing this song at the dining room table. And now we have lyrics! Beautiful chord progression.
Such a top top spirit, Walter. My all time favourite electric guitar player, one half of my favourite band, wittiest and most real lyricist etc, but most of all, and most rarely, honest. How we miss him. Happy Christmas to you all from this "Drunk On Christmas Wine" Santa Claus. 🎄🍷🌟👍
Dolophine is another name for Methadone. The lyrics posted with the video say Delophina but I thought it was the girl's name, Delphina. It makes sense.
Hopefully Walter you and Townes are cosmically connecting and collaborating on some new songs that will one day reach us through the magic of interstellar music travel. Played with Walter- he was a special guy to hang with, as well as a gifted musician. Ty for the wonderful upload.
Thank you for posting this ! Now I’m wishing we could have the rest of the show? but hey I’m just a selfish greedy bastard !!! Walter Becker Lives Forever 🎸🎸🎸🎸
I wonder if they could actually produce a video of the show, if not a larger portion of it, and then sell it to the public. I think lots of people would buy it (of course I would).
What a cool animation to this song! Finding a creative, humorous side to the pain of living in addiction! Through art (music), Walter is telling us the painful truth of a time in his life through another one of his cool songs!
Post Scriptum. I just checked out Sa's Verse on Golden City. The comments are turned off, and, inferring as a part time cynic it's not so hard to see why. On Sa's Verse, I can say, for what it's worth, that my old heart has rarely been touched by anything lasting 48 seconds. God, if indeed the damned thing exists, bless you all. 🌟👍🎄🎶🍷
Earthbound to Johnny boy just picked up your message About those Balinese ikats you thought I might buy Now your voice on my machine is more alive than what you are Since your daredevil hang glider fell out of the sky...

just very touching sad song! A sister song of Junkie girl. Walter's soul was deep, so was his talent, RIP Walter...
We all miss the hell out of this guy...

Walter was brilliant
Miss you, Walter. Thank you, thank you, and thank you for the music.

Thank you, what a treat to hear!
You don't have to have been a heroin addict and methadone clinic patient to appreciate the misery and beauty of this poetry But it helps.
What a sad loss ☹️
Just beautiful........🙏

Delphina the girl of my dreams…….sheer poetry

The art! Is this AI reading the lyrics? 👌
What/Who is AI? Artificial Intelligence? I don't understand this part of your comment.
Seems like it
Gosh, I've known a few delfina's myself. A junkie's misery is exquisite. I don't care what anybody says
