Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

Goes sightlessly past all known stratospheres, the alignment of the collective bright glare. can lose yerself and still there is enough conversation and coordination so that some factor is constantly in a brilliant motion. It's the same for any time this or any song is really "ON", or at "The it" levels is simply that it beautifully takes the risk of straddling the line between the head and the heart, and at its peak is the fulcrum of the threshold of both experiences!
