Wish I knew you in our stoner days, Lo! I'd like to mention that the song "Boats to Build" is the title song of the 1992 album by the greatest of all singer-songwriters on the Texas-Nashville axis, Guy Clark. And I'm not sure what was meant by Will Oldham when he called it "the perfect funeral song." I can't think of a song more full of life, adventure, and hope. Listen to Guy's version.
Ha! What I hear in "Boats To Build' is a recognition that our days are precious, simple things are the best and indeed a celebration of life and adventure and hope - that's what makes it perfect; the reminders to live well and as Warren Zevon would say, 'Enjoy every sandwich!'. Guy's co-writer Verlon Thompson is a great friend of David Ferguson's and guests in the video clip, which kind of brings it all full circle and is very lovely.

Nice, I love that. Tomorrow, it’s back to the grandkids, which means The Wiggles, and Bluey!
Sounds beautiful!
