Bill is one hell of a songwriter and his voice is like no other! and of course sometimes the songs sound like eachother but hey what's the big deal... his lyrics are so fascinating...

[antsydancer]

That's not true, each song has completely different lyrical content.

[easyfriend71]

Bill has written the same song about two hundred fifty times.

[BascomLunsford]

@easyfriend71 And so very beautifully each time. Sometimes reminds me of Indian classical music which sounds like nuanced homages to the ether of tradition. Very rich narrative position nevertheless

[easyfriend71]

@BascomLunsford Yeah, I agree.

[easyfriend71]

@BascomLunsford Yeah, I agree. You seem interested in a way that is optimistic. Reminds me of a Langston Hughes quip: he said that the blues is "hopeless hope."

G, Am7, Am (w/ open D string), D7. Normal D on chorus. Same chords as Sycamore, by the way.
