Matthew

Ages ago, I had a John Denver record. (You know, a vinyl record -- that which is now trendy/seeing a resurgence.) I loved that album. I'd forgotten it, though, until today when I heard a track from the album: Matthew. It's a sad song, and a joyous song, too. .Lovely.

Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love is just the way to live and die
Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat-field
And blue is just a Kansas summer sky

I hope you enjoy.
