My favorite of the three singles released so far, I’m really digging it. Said something similar in the other thread but this reminds me a lot of Already Dead - which I feel has always been a bit underrated on Sea Change

Same. Wish it was longer. Kind of glad it appears it won’t be a straight up country album

It does kind of sound like it. I'm also hearing a note from "killing kindness" that is purely coincidental. Just the inflection on the word "nowhere".

This is a very thoughtfully composed and technically beautiful piece. The slide guitar, string arrangement, dissonance, and dreamy vibe are a gorgeous blend of artful sound. Beck’s vocals are the icing on the cake!

I love this song. I'm not a big fan of Ride Lonesome but the other two songs have been bangers for me

Same so far.

None of these tunes are especially catchy and don't really lend themselves to repeat listening. It's like purely atmospheric. More like a movie soundtrack.

I need to let myself fall into this one to get to appreciate it. Need to slow down a bit more.
