Look At Miss Ohio / Blind Pilot (cover of Gillian Welch)

In the face of all the anti-woman sentiment in America (especially from Ohio) right now, this song reminds me of how pressured first-world women still are to make certain choices and how those “choices” must be carried out on a timeline determined by others - even and often other women, to be certain.

Had your arm around her shoulder, a regimental soldier
An’ mama starts pushing that wedding gown
Yeah you wanna do right but not right now

Given the serious and horrific grievances by those less fortunate all over the world, these issues may seem trite at first glance, but there is no way to help anyone else anywhere unless we fix what is broken in our own home first.

In all the ways.

And there’s a longlong list.

A little more than a week ago a friend of mine suggested that we do a cover of The Weeknd. The idea was definitely a stretch for me but I figured it would be an interesting challenge. The end result of our version of The Weeknd’s “The Morning” is like a forensics TV show soundtrack mets sleezy lounge jazz mets saskatchewan. I hope you enjoy.

Better slow down

she’ll feel it in the morning

I’ve written about the original of this song before and its effect on me. This cover does it justice.
