Summer is difficult for me for some reason. Something about all of the social activities and the long days make life feel impossible to keep up with. I am more of a fall and winter person. I am more comfortable in that slowness. Nevertheless, the garden grows and the outdoor shows keep humming along.
When I feel like this, songs are a source of comfort and strength. So, I recorded this version of one of my favorite Tallest Man on Earth songs. I remember learning this song early in my guitar-playing. It’s in an open D9 tuning (DADEAD) that I’ve since used to write about a third of my released songs. It’s special to me - both the tuning and this song in particular. Enjoy.
Also, we play Rumba Cafe in Columbus, Ohio this Wednesday night with Eliza Edens and October Ember. Come hang for beautiful songs. Grab tickets here to save a few bucks.
Best wishes to your summer,
Sam
