Sufjan Stevens - Variation On 'Commemorative...' (From I am the Resurrection: A Tribute to John Fahey)

JAY WOODWARD - Howl

This is my take on one of my favorite songs. I kept Ezra's vocals and some of the midrange instruments, but lowered the song's key by a half step and added my own instrumentation.

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder 
Well that don't make much sense to me 
I guess to see then one of us will have to wander 

They say distance will make our love grow stronger 
Well that don't make much sense to me 
I guess we'll see if it can change how much I want ya 

They say patience is a virtue 
Without knowing what we're going or we've been through 
And you know it's up to us two 
To decide when this debate will be continued 

'cause I'm head over heels for you and that's fine 
Now I don't know what to do with my time 
I'm head over heels for you and that's fine 
'cause now you're not by my side 
I don't know why I act this way 

All this distance has made my love slow 
I know this is difficult darling 
But it's hard for me as well you know 

And I've got these commitments, you know I had to go 
These things you've said are so unkind 
They've got me going out my mind 
But I'm trying not to let it show 

They say patience is a virtue 
Without knowing what we're going or we've been through 
And you know it's up to us two 
To decide when this debate will be continued 

'cause I'm head over heels for you and that's fine 
Now I don't know what to do with my time 
I'm head over heels for you and that's fine 
'cause now you're not by my side 
I don't know why I act this way 

Absence.

Asthmatic Kitty Records is an independent record label that was co-founded by Lowell Brams and his stepson, singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens, in 1999. Since its founding, AKR has released albums by a variety of artists, including Lily & Madeleine, My Brightest Diamond and Helado Negro, and is currently home to Sufjan Stevens, Angelo De Augustine, Denison Witmer and The Welcome Wagon. 

Asthmatic Kitty was named after Sara, an orange and white tabby who wandered out of the woods pregnant and starving near Holland, Michigan in 1994. For fourteen years she brought joy as a beloved friend to Lowell, enjoying a happy life despite her initial hardships. Her asthma improved after moving west to New Mexico and Wyoming, where she lived out her days as an asthmatic kitty in name only.
