I love the way he paints a picture with the words.
The production is fantastic.
I do a 12 string acoustic version at jam nights. Obviously I have to leave out the whole middle section with the solos. I do a short interlude, but with just me on guitar, I can't hope to reproduce that huge, lush section. It's a fantastic arrangement.
