Liner Notes: I've loved this song since I was a kid. One of the best love songs ever written. And those harmonies! To die for. I did my best to capture what I loved so much about this song, and I hope you enjoy the results. I suggest headphones. :) You might find the inclusion of the percussion to be unexpected, but it's all there in the original. It's funny, I had listened to the song for years, and hadn't really noticed it. Then one day I heard this on a little bluetooth speaker, and it just jumped out. "Where did that come from??" So funny how you can hear some songs a million times and not fully hear them. But yeah, it's all there. I was happy to have an excuse to finally buy some claves. :) The piano part is super cool, obviously. I figured it all out by ear the best I could, but sometimes the piano is a little buried in the mix during the chorus, so I did my best to extrapolate what I couldn't hear.

Big thanks to Jeff LaQuatra for sitting in on lead and rhythm electric guitar. I met Jeff after I moved to Denver a few years ago. I'm so happy to call him a friend. He's an amazing person and an amazing guitarist. He's happens to be a master classical guitarist, but he also plays lead electric guitar in two bands: the amazing 70's cover band, Mr. Majestyk's 8-Track Revival (http://mm8tr.com/), and the excellent Denver-based U2 tribute band, Under a Blood Red Sky (https://www.uabrs.com/).

A big thanks to Bryce Bloom for playing bass and cajon on this. Great job, as always.

Thanks to Shawn Herbert for filming this for us.

Thanks to you for listening/watching, and for helping spread the music.

Until the next song,

-Mike
