Ceiling Gazing

Mark Kozelek & Jimmy LaValle

It’s one of my favorites — and it’s almost like a hymn this Sunday morning with these major chords on the organ. So many beautiful details as Kozelek remembers his Grandpa, his dad, his sister and her children. But at 5:28, the song seems to levitate into the present, with this vigorous gratitude and joy for life.

Note: Like Gibbard’s Postal Service, this is another remote collaboration with Jimmy LaValle.
