This is a fine piece of finger-picking for beginners and challenging to play tightly. Let yourself fall into the meditative chord progressions of this beautiful song.

" My favorite line is the placeholder, [Insert here a sentiment re' our golden years] ... I just had 5 or 6 of the most unbelievably corny, "I will follow you into the dark", kind of sentiments. That just doesn't feel like me. If I were to sing something like that, it would just feel like I was aping this pre-existing form." - Josh Tillman
