LittleMissPollux - I never noticed until you said that, but his voice does sound somewhat similar to Jeff Mangum. However, if NMH released something new, I think I'd die from shock and delight.

I'm pretty sure, seeing as this was written pre-9/11 and the death of his mother, that this song was regarding the death of his father. It oddly fits both losses though. Eerie.

I listened to this song in alot of airports. To and from someplace that I really miss now. I'm off to be there again tomorrow, so I decided to check back in on it... To me, it's always been a bittersweet song. Quirky, sad and soulful. Beautiful, too. Simple, pure beauty.

I was thinking this today. Sounds very much like the quieter bits of NMH. Would love to hear Elvis tackle Oh Comely or something.

It's wonderful... Absolutley wonderful. His voice somehow strikes me as Rufus Wainright, but it's pretty amazing.
If it was written post- 9/11 it really strikes me as being like his mothers death, if it was written before then... eerie.
Since I had first ... ( 4 weeks ago by TheSKeB)
Since I had first heard it, the common theme seemed to be that the song was written about his mother and how he wished she had kept dreaming, instead of going to work that day...

I love it, and I wish that people would stop referring him to other musicians.
Listen everyone!!!! You don't have to compare him to others, he is Elvis Perkins, and he is himself, and it just sounds great. I can't stand music with boundaries, like, oh, this guy sounds like that guy, so lets say he's in this genre. Genre's ruin things, and distract from the artist himself/
herself.

My, I was going to just comment that "How come this song can make me happy and nostalgic all at the same time?" I wonder if Elvis Perkins meant to do that, but 'tis absolutely true!
