i really dig this guy, i have two of his albums...one called The Future and the other i think is a best of..i recall a song called so long marianne

The Future is excellent!

It's been in the car for weeks...each listen drags me further into his lyrics.

Just an extremely talented,brilliant man.

John Cale does it so much better

John Cale can only wish he wrote it.

Holy shit I wish I wrote it, the sweeping progression of the I-VI chords in the verse, the major build up, the diminished climax... fuck and those lyrics, absolute perfection. I'm comfortable with saying this song has made me weep in some of my more vulnerable moments. John Cale just does it better
