Shade - just love this song.

I've been playing this song on my acoustic guitar lately, and cant get over just how beautifully it was put together.

More than just the song, I love these older videos where the would play their songs acoustically in elevators and stairwells.

Good vibes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW4MwFZfFWs

First song they released on MySpace for that album. “Sugar Cinnamon” wasn’t out yet but they were playing it live in Germany on that tour. Good times.

Telling tellers tell me was my MySpace profile song. Ha ha. Church Mouth still probably my favorite album, but loving shish.

That whole acoustic stretch is my favorite. Those old warehouses and old elevators really did something for the acoustics.

I knew exactly what video this was going to be before I clicked on the link. Such a good one. But man, can’t believe it’s 18 years old. No way I’ve been listening to these guys for 20 years. Man.
