I still like it but I don’t really actively seek it out (the last 10+ posts are good evidence of that).

I saw PJ last night, and this song just grabbed me. The line “my hands are well acquainted with my mouth” has been stuck in my head all day.

There are two released versions of this song. The “original” is from an album called “You Didn’t Know I was Alphabetical.” Its the more full band alt-country (his words) version. The second version (what I posted) is from an album called “22, April: Vienna, Austria.” This one is how the song sounds when he tours, just him and a guitar. 

Version 1 is alright, but version 2 crushes it. 

Listen to the entire album here.
