      This particular version of this song is the best thing he’s ever done. Everyone else will tell you otherwise, but it’s just not true. GMF, Glacier, and ‘you don’t have to’ are all worthy contenders, but nothing will compare to this specific version of this song. Either way, know that his style and cynicism have been bitten off by many others, particularly Father John Misty.

      ​@@pbelancsik I agree, there is nothing like just him and a piano live. The man is phenomenal. I will never forget seeing him, standing there feeling like I'd just been run over by a truck emotionally. But in a good way.
