This is actually quite a brilliant song by someone as intense as Captain Beefheart. I think he was just proving to naysayers that he could write and play a beautiful tune if he wanted to. This song could easily be covered by a number of name artists. It could be easily played on radio in a set featuring the Grateful Dead, Tom Waits, & Leonard Cohen. I loved the Captain's crazy stuff and now I respect him even more for his beautiful ones. Every catepillar is a potential butterfly. RIP
This is such a beautiful, emotive song, taken from one of my all-time favourite albums. I never tire of hearing 'Bluejeans And Moonbeams', and this gorgeous song blows me away every time. RIP Captain - over and out.

I love his crazy stuff - and I love his more commercial stuff. How can anyone say this is not a great song? Check out that voice and piano!

there's a fantastic key change at 4.30, and another at 4.49 from C to F# which is a stunner

I love this album, I didn't quite get his earlier surreal stuff although he was an innovator-but this is truly beautiful, and a bit overlooked

Just listened to this after 36year abscence and it reduced me to tears. It is so beautiful and it does take you to another time 1974!
Shall listen to it more often now.
Thanks Captain Beefheart.

this has got to be in the top most beautiful guitar solos of all time. "open it up- and let our love appear" and, indeed, it does.
Always love you, Don... rest well, my friend.
