Will is my friend
Will sings like John
Goin' back to California

What a cool song. I was listening to Devendra Banhart this morning and this song always just floors me. Can't get it out of my head now. So simple, yet so gentle and sincere sounding. Just a piano and acoustic guitar, but so many quavers and quivers in his voice and delivery. Apparently he said in an interview that he really does have a good friend named Will, and he does sing like that great British bluesman John Mayall, and he's always singing Mayall's "Goin' Back to California". So the song was meant to be kind of an ode to him. Friday fun fact to go with my Friday song of the day

What's yours?

Will is a good friend of mine
with whom I spend a whole lotta my time
the lemon tree
it laughs at me
it's growin' beautifully
the little vine
it won't unwind
and it'll wrap your whole in time
now let's have a glass of wine
now let's have another glass of wine
