Record this fucking song already!!!
I saw Michael Chorney and Seth Eames cover "The Way It Would Be" by Gillian Welch/David Rawlings on Saturday night at Radio Bean here in Burlington. The song crushed me. Chills, hair standing on end, etc. Out of nowhere - like great live music often does - I felt inspired. My mind started wandering and the ideas started overflowing. Oddly, I wanted to leave in the middle of this great performance because of the immediacy of my thoughts. You know, that feeling like you have to get them all out as quickly as possible or else they might forever escape.
State of Mind co-editor Matt Bushlow showed me this video of Gillian and David a few weeks back -- the same week Chorney turned him on to Neil Young's On the Beach. Gillian has said this song comes from listening to that Neil album way too much. Man, just look at them get into it in this video:
