This happens all the time these days: I go back and listen to old stuff and I can’t believe how uncertain and hesitant I sounded then, or just how slow it is. Is that really how I used to play this? That’s really what people’ve been listening to all these years? Man! That’ll teach me to record stuff right after I write it. Jeez.
I’m sure that in a few years I’ll find this version just as appalling, but for now, here’s “You’re Beautiful” as it actually sounds. I’m pretty proud of this song. Not everything I wrote in 2003 I still think is worth keeping, but with this I think the songwriting has actually held up, if not the performance.
Thanks for listening!

Thanks! It’s blowing my mind a bit, Will, because I honestly don’t remember it ever not sounding the way it sounds now. I feel like a fool, because I always imagined that what people were listening to bore some sort of resemblance to, you know, what I think of as the song. I guess I’m not qualified to talk about my own stuff.

It’s that whole Burden of Knowledge thing. Difficult to deal with at the best of times.

Jeremy, thanks for coming by! I hope that’s not ‘wow’ in a negative way.

Very nice. This song used to drag a bit, but the increase in tempo makes it sound much better. Great to hear from you again!!
