What a beautiful song. Love following where it leads you, Rebecca, as you trip lightly along the ledge of sleep and waking. I still vividly remember how Adrianne Lenker broke my heart in the early days of the pandemic with her cover of John Prine's "Summer's End" as he lay dying. Your post led me to listen again and it all came flooding back. Whether she's expressing simple domestic joys or plainspoken lamentations of grief, Adrianne Lenker is such a quiet powerhouse. Great choice for your latest PhilosopHer of Modern Song, Rebecca.

A beautiful musing on sleepwalking through time. I can't tell if things seem sped up or slowed down I am landlocked in my head so much of the time. You nail the dream of it all.

Those chess pieces clattering to the floor. I'll be relistening to the song...and how with Graley's comment, her version of Summer's End.
