Have you been waiting here a long time?

The traffic sucks on the Northside

Did you order yet or should we wait?

How are you doing, are you okay?

No matter what I hope you don't forget

We don't give in to the weakness

Ruston Kelly - All Too Well (Official Audio)

[salcia-art]

So I recently discovered that a musician I like is also a huge TMNT fan, as well as a fan of crows. So I decided to mash up those two loves and create these pieces.

The cool part about all this is the fact that recently my wife and I went to his concert and got to attend a VIP Q&A session with him. As the time ran down, I decided to hold up the prints I brought and point to them. He notices them and remarks how rad they are. I ask if I can hand them to him and he says he’ll have someone come by right now to snag them. The woman who was running the Q&A comes by (I think she might be his manager, I’m not sure), and I ask if it would be possible to have him sign one of the prints for me. She goes “I don’t think that’ll be a problem!”

Fast forward like twenty minutes, and she comes back. “Hey, sorry this took so long. He loved the comic strip one, he was really chatty about it. That’s why it took forever for me to get these back to you.” I thank her for getting it signed and spend the rest of the concert later that evening elated.

An absolutely amazing experience.

I woke up this morning to Ruston Kelly's version of Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow playing in my head. This song should not be an earworm...it's lovely, but it's also just soaked with loss. It's the story of being the one who isn't chosen, of being rejected by the person you think you're building a future with. Here's a sampling of the plaintiveness...

Bury me under the violets blue

To prove my love to him

Tell him that I'd die for him

His love I could never win

I went down a rabbit hole of versions, and you know what? This is the only one that actually matches the lyrics in the best possible way. Every other version sticks to the upbeat tone of The Carter Family's original recording, at least to some degree or another. But Ruston Kelly's version is like the most melodic funeral dirge of all time, beautiful, and pathetic, and incredibly sing-a-longable.

This may be the best cover of all time. There's a gravity to this song that is incredible.

On a side note, another great thing about it? He doesn't gender-flip the pronouns. Fucking champion.
