Matt Jaffe Music's video: Matt Jaffe - Broken Flowers Song Of The Week 44

Because I feel time on stage like the Millennium Falcon feels distance in Hyperspace, I'm reticent to do anything that slows down the musical cosmic flow...like switching to an alternate tuning, even one as commonplace as Drop-D. But to access the pseudo-psychedelic-psycho mania of this tune, Drop D was a must, so here you have it, my first (and hopefully last) song run astray of EADGBE. This song is best enjoyed if you prepare yourself a picnic of tea and crumpets and rest your eyes, all the while imagining that you are a member of your local Village Green Preservation Society. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.
