		+	i adore this song, and one of my fondest memories of the wedding was when we were all tired and wasted and sweated up and sitting together playing each other songs, and you played this, complete with the third verse. that performance couldn't have been a more perfect invocation of this song for me.
		+
		+	it makes me think of our talk on the phone before the wedding, when you were saying that doesn't marriage isn't forever, exactly, it's until one of you dies. we laughed about how you kept trying to work death and that conception of how precious your time together is into the collaborative vow song, but DK wasn't as into that take, how you started from death, and worked your way back from there. but it's such a cheerful and touching picture of togetherness, how even after death, parts of you will still be rooted to your neighborhood and to each other.
		+
		+	on a less sentimental note, it's the melody that wins in this one. the leaps and lopes when extending the final words of each stanza are the signature successes in this tune, to my ears. the the walking low note in the fingerpicked part is killer, and its simplicity and repetitiveness ground the proceedings. the keyboard part and its treatment are also lovely and properly understated.
		+
		+	Oh! I like it a lot.
