Good Gosh A’mighty Now

Another pair of songs. Joy & pain, none of the former without the latter, enjoy it while you can because death waits, etc. And in the meantime, few things are as reliably pleasurable as an undulating bassline that keyboards & guitar & horns all circle around and rub up against as the spirit moves them.
