One Deep River / The Boy / Re: The Boy EP (03) All Comers

And song is so great that nobody seems to be disturbed by the fact that the main lead parts are played by folkies and not by MK's lead.

One Deep River / The Boy / Re: New Album - One Deep River

Yeah but the circumstances were limited in many ways .. only one day, only independent stores, not garantueed that they got copies, plus hundreds of other RSD releases in competition to spend your money otherwise. It seems like they tried to make an experiment to chose the least possible  way to sell records.

They could alternatively comprise a mini album on CD containing The Boy EP + ODR bonus vinyl EP tracks. Oh wait… that would probably be too convenient for the paying customer.

Might have to wait for the next studio albums box set for that 

Seriously, this album seems to have been marketed much more aggressively than any previous release, so I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of some form of mini album release in the future.

I personally would love something along the lines of the “One Take Radio Sessions” EP

Problem is I guess that One Take Radio Sessions was from a time when people actually bought CDs. Nowadays, not so much.

Even after all our panic it seems like 3,000 copies of The Boy was too many...

Thank you.

Thematically, the So Far Away echo indeed makes sense as it would be a similar setting (being away on tour/work, missing her)   but loaded with much more love and less making out on the telephone

Aaaand... after three listens this one is now stuck in my head!

It's interesting how songs that appear unremarkable at first listen can go on to become favourites.

Now, if we weren't already huge MK fans and we weren't struck by a song at first listen we wouldn't keep going back for more.

I wonder if I listened to the new Taylor Swift album multiple times I would start getting favourites from that one 

I wonder what it is about. Pot Smoking?

My interpretation:

He's talking about what all the "ordinary" people are doing while he's flying about in his private jet on tour, but he still wishes he was with Kitty.
