What a song.  I kind of like the old version better than the remastered.

I like the backstory on this tune. George wrote it for Ronnie Spector, did the backing track, she didn't release it...so he did it himself. The reason his vocal is so high is that the backing track was in Ronnie's vocal range. I think George singing in that register gives the song lots of energy.

Nice.  Lyrics are great.  Nice band name.




The following is one of my favorite songs of all-time from the old days.  I especially love the tone they got on the guitar.

Listened to the whole song for the first time ever.  Ive played it in different bars a few times as the bass player but had never heard the whole song except for about 10-20 seconds of it.  Is there bass on any version of it?  Ive always made up a bass part when Ive been in on this song.


And...


This song has always been a favorite because of the lyrics.  I think Paul Simons lyrics are second to no ones.

Yeah, I love that Simon song too. So simple, yet it works beautifully with the melody.


Here are the Harvest Moon bass tabs.

I dig that whole album, but that tune particularly....the Paul Simon one....rather appropriate, considering Two's post in Thinking Peeps.
