The studio version is the shortest 10 minutes you'll ever listen to.

[handselreid]

Kurts songs seem simple then you try to play them and realize how damn good he is a guitar to be playing and singing

[dave]

Why does this song make me sad in such a good way?? He comes off so hippie dippy-like, but the lyrics are philosophical and deep and make me think. In the psyche of my I appreciate him to the utmost.

[UnstoppableFlows]

This man translates unrequited love and good spirited regrets in a way I just can't even begin to explain. Good man.

[dirtydan]

love those little extra notes he added in the riff for this performance

[Whoisthiskid]

He played a free show near my hometown in PA, found out hes a Pennsylvanian too, but I ended up missing it because I couldnt get anyone to go with me, I still regret it everytime I listen to Kurt

[Xixbalba]

Only 11k views? He deserves a lot more. It’s nice to see there are artists still like this out there.. we need them desperately.

[komando]

Good to see a fellow PA boy strumming a PA guitar.

[brandonkuiper]

You are a FKIN PIONEER my friend! I've never heard such complexity with "basic chords" ...you just straight up play em differently, inspiring to me that so much can be done with so little.

[Gekko]

oh man. this is a great mixture of artists of old: The Doors + Neil Young + (call me crazy but i hear Talking Heads here as well) . Simply Brilliant Kurt!!!!

[Dorypowa]

His musics reassure me on life :-)) love his work and kexp you are my fav channel !!

[TheRealSandorClegane]

His tiny desk concert is the best version of this song

[kentborges]

KV STYLE IS ADDICTING ! HE HAS BECOME AN ABSOLUTE FAVORITE !

[melonhead]

Going to see KV solo today! Johnny Brenda’s. Gonna be epic

[niamhroberts]

kevin suggs, you really did it with this audio engineering huh

[lucazanotta]

Dude, when will you ever come to play in Milan, Italy?!

[bretkindell]

I would love to sit down with Kurt for just 20 minutes over a cup coffee..what kind of guy is he?? where does he pull these lyrics out of his dome. ?? interesting guy

[connormacgregor]

[adzboy]
