M. Ward makes beautiful music. I hate when people reference everything creative to drugs, whether that's what it's about or not.

[crazedwitchdoctor]

usually I've got some sort of theory but... this song simply makes me feel and for once that's all I need. so don't think about it just...listen.

It seems like each one of Matt's albums has one of these dreamlike gems buried on it - "Chinese Translation," "Color of Water" . . . I don't know how it's possible, but this may be the best one of all.
