@kevin3591 I totally agree. It is so obvious when an artist is way more than someone who sings, paints, writes, etc. They seem to be driven by something other worldly. I think Townes was one of those people.

Townes passed on 1/1/97. This may have been his most moving song. Townes earned his legendary status.

[StrongHeartLives]

For me, this is hands down the most powerful and haunting song I've ever heard. I know what he's talking about, I've been there too many times. When you know his personal battles he encountered in life, this song takes on even more dimensions because he's writing from an experience that is hard to encompass in one pass or one sitting. He describes that fear and alienation from being in that hole better than you could ever try to explain. It's a lonely cold place to stay, but a mesmerising spell.

If this song doesn't give you chills you are listless. Haunting.

[Aquapello1967]

Is there a face on the fith fret at 1:47? The mother of pearl shows a face. It's almost like a Minatour face.

@earlefan No need to bring other artists into this, mate. 4 people disliked the song because 4 people are morons. That simple :D

[earlefan]

[BrandonHortman]

This man is art personified. There is a new documentary, I cam't remember what the name of it is though.
