Couple of them [talking about songs from “Coming From Reality”] are so sad. There is one in there, that’s absolutely a killer. One of the saddest songs (…) I’ve ever heard. [listens to the song]
That really makes me sad, because that was the last song we recorded. And that was the last song that Rodriguez ever recorded. And was makes it even sadder is, the album was released in November 1971. And we expected big things and it did absolutely nothing. And then two weeks before christmas Sussex dropped him off the label – and the very first line of the song as if premonition was. Oh man, you have to think about that. This guy deserves recognition!
