From the Bullpen #8 (continued)
Here’s another from the Nothing Is Wrong sessions that didn’t make the record. And unlike Strangers Getting Stranger and Rest Easy, it’s never been heard by anyone. Some of you may have heard the song itself from our recent Live at the Hotel Cafe release. And then there’s obviously the song it became a couple albums later.
On the organ for this one is Mike Finnigan. You may have seen from a few posts ago that he passed a little over a week ago. Look him up if you’re not familiar. He was a titan of a musician and we were lucky to have known him through Griff’s and my dad. They had played together in several bands for years. When he came in to play on our song I remember standing behind him and marveling at his command of the instrument. It feels good that this song would be coming out now.
It’s on the 10th anniversary edition as part of the 7 inch that come with the main record, out Friday in limited white & gold foil edition & digital. Listen & order at found.ee/Dawes10thNothingIsWrong

lyrics:
You can send me a message if you don’t wanna talk
Or make sure I don’t interrupt
It might help you let it go
It’s hard for you, I know
To act like you’re not giving up
But don’t send me away
There’s nowhere else I’m going to
Don’t send me away
I know that’s what you wanna do
Don’t send me away
You can send me a picture of the room you’re in
With your evening downtown view
The way the city spreads when you’re laying in your bed
You could send it so I know what I stand to lose
But don’t send me away
This is where I’m supposed to be
Don’t send me away
You don’t know what it'd do to me
Don’t send me away
I’m getting on the freeway
Your jacket's in my car
Your ash is in my ashtray
And I’m there with you wherever you are

You've probably only known it (this new version) for about 30 minutes at the time of your comment.
You have the rest of your life to take it in and realise there are never enough different versions.
OK, not as different but the I love the songs that always have different solos or instrumentals - check out live videos of "From A Window Seat" and "Peace In The Valley" with or without guest musicians.
They are never ever the same twice but always stunningly well crafted.
There are some videos up of a festival (recently) where they played a few alternate versions.
