Deep and thoughtful rendition of a profoundly deep and moving song...Beck has made another selfless major contribution with this one.

She never looked around to see me
She never looked around at all
All I heard was snow that had to fall

That is soooo my life a few years ago.

I think this is a great track, and Beck really seems to channel Martyn on it. Somehow he makes his voice sound like him too. I imagine it's intentional, but it works.

I am watching Sandy right now. Sposed to get a lot worse. Not bad right now. They call it "Frankenstorm" here on the coast. Gov shut down today. Working from home. Thanks for the hurricane set, Bill.

This is actually a John Martyn composition.

Martyn and Nick Drake were contemporaries, and borrowed liberally from each other.

What was that Picasso line? "Good artists borrow. Great artists steal."


Thanks for pointing that out, a lot of people are not aware of that quote or its meaning.
