I really like the song and would even if Jim wasn't on it.

So, I hadn't realized who Ben Sollee was.  He plays cello in The Sparrow Quartet.  Now that all the pieces have fallen into place, I'm really excited to hear some of his music.

Nice man. I can't even tell you how much I needed to hear this.

"This is only a song
It can't change the world"

You know what though...it changed my funky mood.  :)

Beautiful.  Really touching music.  Jim's voice fits perfectly - I hope he does some more side projects with Ben.

One of the comments under the song said, " I think the bigger the light show, the smaller the talent".

It makes sense.  ;)  ;D

Very reminiscent of a live (as in 'performing') Jeff Buckley.
And a motherfucking awesome Sam Cooke cover!
