Awesome!
Do you still play the old vinyl? The sound is suppose to change with each play.
I think part of me likes this song too because of the story behind it. If I remember correctly, he decided he was going to write a song and let fate dictate what it would be about. His inspiration at the time had come from the I-Ching. So, he picked up a book and flipped to a page and found the words "Gently Weeps" and that became the basis for the lyrics. To me it's quite amazing, because he was allowing himself to essentially be free and look at what came as a result. To me it was beautiful.
