I Think I'll Call It Morning - Gil Scott-Heron Cover, for Bryse
We miss you, Bryse. I’m still grasping at straws to find you, but holding on to the people around me. It isn’t perfect (I had a cold), but I think you would’ve loved it anyway.
This is a cover of I Think I’ll Call It Morning by Gil Scott-Heron off the album she sent me before she left this world, Pieces of a Man. The way this song shows up in the album is like a little bit of hope in an otherwise deep and dark and corrupt world.
I can’t quite express just how much it means to me to have some of her (and my) favorite people perform this in honor of her. Thank you so much to Andrew Forman on bass and for mixing, Crystal Rose on vocals (helping us figure out the vocals) and transcribing, David Zyto on guitar, Guy Paz on drums, and Katy Rea for recording us and helping the whole process. I love you guys with my whole soul.
This is for Bryse, perhaps the most charming woman I’ve had the pleasure of knowing, living with, and loving. Thank you.
