Welcome to The Pines.
This is the third location in which I’ve set up and recorded this arrangement.
All three places had pines. Of course.

This is an old American folk song.
It’s about loss.
About trust.
Life, the mess of it.
And the simplicity of death.

I first heard it when Kurt Cobain first sang it on Mtv Unplugged.
That was a mesmerizing performance.
It really helped me to understand the depths that music can take you.
Any music.
Kurt was a punk rock hero...
And he used folk music to say goodbye, in a way.
Just five months after that recording, Kurt died.
