Here's my #SundaySong
I didn't find it on any streaming services so you'll have to live with a YouTube link (trackers removed) from their Pinkpop concert.
@trendskater I know you will appreciate this.

The first time I got to experience a full #MarkRothko exhibition, I genuinely wept. Also the 2d, and 3rd. The emotional intensity of his abstracts never fails to grip me, and I will always need a moment to collect myself afterward, and I will not really be interested in looking at anything else for a while.
And somehow, Dar Williams wrote a song about exactly that. This is "Mark Rothko Song." Here's my #coversong:
The Chicks - song - 2010

Played this #originalsong in a local cafe recently and some kind folks in the audience *insisted* that I must record and post it.
Maybe my own little emotional crisis in a local grocery store will resonate–this is my original song about “Crying In the Kimberton Whole Foods."
(KWF is a local, family-owned independent chain, and no relation to the Amazon-owned behemoth. Buy local, cry local!)

This week's #SundaySong doesn't sound exactly how I would have liked, but the point isn't to be perfect, the point is to be brave and put things out there. This is "Hospital" by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, performed on a distorted #UBass with some digital mellotron added in.
From 1973, one of those songs that just evokes a specific time and place for me. This is Jim Croce's "One Less Set of Footsteps."
