Remembering Chris at Christmas

[aleuzzi]

These past two weeks I’ve been listening a lot to the official album version of “Never Make Me Cry” (as opposed to the numerous alternate versions) and finding myself moved by its spaciness and simplicity, the way her soft, solemn voice articulates the melody, the spare arrangement, the decision to strip everything down to its bareness—all of this is really hitting me now in days it never had before.
