Amidst the downpour and uprising - a watery vice squeezing from all sides, evincing tears from those in the middle - I indulged in chat with lovely company: strange, yet familiar, but always comfortable and essentially inspiring, a fast track to friendship, of knowledge and knowing, dually trusted and safe. Glad to be invited. Glad the rains came. Glad to do it again.

My earliest recollection of this song was on a Lemonheads B-side, with the voice of the ever-beautiful Evan Dando shining through, in all his husky brilliance. Little did I know then it's origins; written by Mike Nesmith of the Monkees, popularized by Linda Ronstadt (with the Stone Poneys), somehow known to me before I'd ever heard it:
