About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.

Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).

The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

That voice and live performance. Haven’t heard of this song but already played it 3 times in a row. When this was released I was 12 years old and listening to Ry Cooder but it gives me the same vibes!

Great way to start the day. JT is one of the greats.

[WhoaSequoiaOfficial]

Incredible. JT is a treasure. And what an amazing band. They all play to the room and the vibe, which is mellow

[alexanderwes]

Prachtig nummer van één van de groten. Wat hebben jullie toch veel mensen van naam voor de camera's weten te krijgen!

It’s amazing how one word substitution changes the whole meaning of the song.
In the original version, James sings, “only living for the end of the week”. Then in later versions, he sings “only living til the end of the week”.
In the first version, he’s talking about revisiting Copperline for a weekend trip but in the latter version, he plans to die there.
One is nostalgic, one is sad.

even if his crazy or just because....men rule men
