I know Chris Bell is really happy that good people like you guys are keeping this music alive for the new kids out there ! NICE JOB !!!!!

[@matthewoboyle6010]

One of the most beautiful songs ever.

[@BlueSkies32]

Gorgeous version with strings, John Auer, Ken Stringfellow, are really talented artists with a keen musical sensitivity, who with Chris Stamey have done us all a great service by carrying the torch to keep Big Star alive.

The Posies?

[@jstall20]

it's a chris bell song. since chilton sang background on it, might as well have been a big star song.

The Posies did a bunch of the Big Star reunion shows (and two live albums that I know of) in the 90s up until Alex Chilton's death thanks to this song.

They're the only big star members left 😂

Everytime the bass player hits the E string, its barley audible. Great song though

[@zoomsp91]

That E note is so important too, shame

[@steverok67]

I hear it just fine, but I have bionic ears.

thats a compression issue when the engineer compressed the bass guitar ... (oops ;) )
