The Once and Future Carpenter is their most complete song. I’ll die on that hill.

It is surprising that it’s not a staple in their live show. It’s such a fantastic tune.

I have a "When I lose my direction, I'll look up to the sky" tattoo. Love this song and have seen it live twice.

It’s the song (and record) that roped me in. I still have yet to hear it live. Hopefully next week???

Did anyone else really think they were gonna keep releasing box sets after doing em For I&L&Y and The Carpenter?

Can't believe it's been 14 yrs though, wow!

If I live the life I am given, I won't be scared to die... as I age older this lyric resonates... as an old man I know I am on the downward slope. I just hope when my day comes... I won't be scared.
