Please, remember me happily By the rosebush laughing
please, remember me / my misery / and how it lost me all I wanted
And then they went on to say that the Pearly Gates // Had some eloquent graffiti // Like 'We'll meet again' and 'Fuck the man' // And 'Tell my mother not to worry' //
Been listening to a lot of Iron & Wine lately. This is my favorite song of theirs.
I've played this and a couple of live versions of it >1,200 times in total. I've not worked out how many hours' worth of listening that is, but I do know that it's an awful lot. And I never tire of it. I consider it pretty much perfect as a song.

I do not know who Cole was but he uploaded this song to youtube and later took his own life. Since we're archiving soon, here's to remembering Cole.
