@kristenanniebell : Beacuse hes my best friend and because you deserve a beautiful goodnight song. Enjoy. #Repost @bobmervak (@get_repost) ・・・ Hello! I'm releasing an EP of covers next week entitled "McGuire's Motel," and to celebrate I'll be posting as many covers as I possibly can over the next 7 days, some from the new release and some just because. •••••••••••••••••••••• This one is an old Blues Folk standard of unknown origin called "Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor." I first fell in love with Mississippi John Hurt's rendition, but many greats have covered it, from Dylan to Gillian Welch to Louis Armstrong. •••••••••••••••••••••• its kind of an obscure thought, but the act of someone fashioning you a simple place to sleep--especially on the floor for some reason--has always felt like one of the kindest and most comforting acts a person can do, particularly during more difficult times of fatigue, sadness, etc. They're essentially tucking you in, and I don't think any of us ever completely loses the connection with that. The unapologetic aimlessness of this character, and shamelessness in the way he asks for a handout fills me with pity and just sorta gets me every time. The line "when I'm broke and got nowhere to go" often sounds like "when I'm broken, got nowhere to go.." which just further intensifies the feelings in it. I love this song. •••••••••••••••••••••• Click the link in my bio to hear the full version, and feel free to let me know if there's anything you wanna hear this week! THANK YOU.
