God Saw Fit To Make Tears
Jul. 31st, 2008 11:17 amThis song's been stuck in my head for the last week, since I heard Alistair Moock perform it at SUUSI. I'm not crazy about the version he put on his album, which is distractingly jangly. I think it works best with a solo, stripped-down guitar accompaniment, as he plays it here.
Here's the story he told about it: he was driving around one day with NPR on the radio, not particularly listening, when he heard a commentator say the phrase, "That's why God saw fit to make tears."
"So I turned the car around and went home," he told us, "because all the singer-songwriters in Boston listen to NPR, and one of them was going to write the song."
