The worst you can do is harm

It's Valentine's Day today, and if there was one Long Winters song perfect for a slow dance, it's "Scent of Lime."

This was one of the very first TLW songs I ever heard, and it so perfectly encapsulates what makes John's songwriting so great. There is a grace in the restraint to these lyrics that makes their meaning universal; the plainest words ARE the finest.

Played toward the middle of the evening's performance, it was the moment when this great show in this little house started to feel like we had found something outside the real world entirely.
