(added 2018: )

‘In ‘Golden Hair’, culled from Chamber Music, a slim verse Joyce wrote in 1907, a troubadour yearns for a Rapunzel locked in a tower. With simple barre chords, Barrett conjured a solemn air akin to a medieval madrigal. Its cadence is pure plainsong, chanted words over bare chords, with the first of his thrilling downward octave leaps at the end.‘

“i would like you to choose a song that is important to you. find the emotion it stirs up in you and run with it. show me how you listen to it, show me what it makes you feel, show me what it makes you want to do.”

My song is You Can’t Quit Me Baby by Queens of the Stone Age.

It’s a love song.
