I heard this on Saturday night, before knowing who I was listening to, and found myself in tears. The strings and winds, and of course, Chris's mandolin, take this haunting song to another level.
Me too. In this song he articulates exactly how I have felt in many of my relationships...I don't know what that says about me but I am so grateful this song is here and Bruce Freakin Hornsby is just incredible.
I was in tears too
Something about his voice, cuts right through me, great to here the orchestra with him, Adds such a depth to the tune.
You hit the nail on the head. He grabs my soul. A genius among us.
Bruce Hornsby and Marc Cohn are my favorites! This song by Bruce is amazing!
Two all-time musical geniuses on stage together at the end there is almost too much to take
Does everyone know how good this is?
"If this isn't nice, I don't know what is." ~Kurt Vonnegut
[Verse 1]
I guess it's terrible
But it don't feel so bad
I abide, and I may hold a key
To being gratefully glad
(Mission on my way down)
You smile in my face
(In my waiting)
But all the time you wanted to hit replace
(I've been along the way around)
Here's my back for stabbin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Won't wait it up, I won't weigh you down
Won't crave it up, I will stand down
I won't taint it up, I will stand down
When you cast me off
[Chorus]
I'll be, I'll be your cast-off
Be your discarded toy
I'll be, I'll be your cast-off
Be your maybe something choice
Self-loathing never felt so good
And so it should
I'll be your cast-off
I'll be your discarded toy
Be your rejection foil
[Pre-Chorus]
Won't wait it up, I won't weigh you down
Won't crave it up, I will stand down
I won't taint it up, I will stand down
When you cast me off
[Chorus]
I'll be, I'll be your cast-off
Be your discarded toy
I'll be, I'll be your cast-off
Be your maybe something choice
Be your rejection foil
[Outro]
I kinda ain't shit
But I embrace it
I can be okay
I'll take what I can get
And like it
And like it well
I'll be your cast-off
Be your discarded one
Discarded toy
Discarded chew toy
Smile in my face
And all the time you want to take my place
Here's my back for stabbin'

That...was awesome!
This is my favorite version of this rec ❤
Amazing
Thanks for posting, this is awesome

ABOUT THE SONG: "Next month, Bruce Hornsby will reveal his first album in three years, Absolute Zero. For the effort, the Grammy-winning pianist and songwriter enlisted help from a number of special guests, including past collaborator Justin Vernon, who pops up on a track called “Cast-Off”.
The song, also co-written by the Bon Iver genius, is one about “acceptance and even gratitude in the face of rejection, egolessness, patience and humility,” per a statement from Hornsby (via Pitchfork). He elaborated further,
“This song was put together in Eau Claire, WI last April, starting with an unused film cue, developed and expanded upon in the studio with spontaneous contributions from Sean Carey (who just walked in and started singing), Jeremy Ylvisaker (playing guitar that doesn’t sound like guitar!), Mike Lewis and JT Bates on sax and drums, Brad Cook (and later Noisemaker JV Collier) on bass, and Justin and I taking turns in the vocal booth trading ideas and melodies. Pretty much, mostly concocted right there at April Base!”

Musically, “Cast-Off” is a natural melding of both Hornsby’s and Vernon’s worlds. On the one hand, there’s a cinematic coolness to the tune, a nod to Hornsby’s acclaimed work for the big screen (see: all his material with 2018 Filmmaker of the Year Spike Lee); the song’s intricately layered arrangements also call to mind a less electronic version of Bon Iver’s 22, A Million.
As an added bonus, “Cast-Off” also contains a pretty dope line that would’ve made for the perfect AIM Away Message: “I kinda ain’t sh*t, but I embrace it.”
