In praise of "Everywhere"

One of the reasons for this is the gorgeous arrangement, of course, and 'that extraordinary, tinkling keyboard part', as the article puts it, which was actually Lindsey's extraordinary, tinkling guitar part, played at a slow speed and then sped up. I think that's why it's so beguiling, because it manages to sound simultaneously organic, and like it couldn't have been played by human hands.

Oh yes, I remember this now, there's a bit of video out there somewhere where Lindsey explains how he produced the "tinkling" part. Darned if I can find it though.

It's a well-written article though. I had never heard of "folderol" before. I was wondering if she was referring to some sort of drug but in context, that made no sense. It's "trivial or nonsensical fuss" apparently. So now I know...

I had not heard this acoustic cover until today. Maybe it's one for a funeral
