Sorry if the comment seemed odd, I just cannot see how the intensifier ‘quintessential’ can be applied to the song.I wonder what people think are the qintessential summer night songs – or is that unquantifiable, more about the place than the music?
I aslo found the idea of a twelve year old listening to ‘not dark yet’ odd and disturbing although that may be my prejudice, as I see the song as being anguished beyond the realms of most normal youthful experience other than Holden C like grief, which would make sense.Anyway,we are probably both agreed that it is an almighty piece of music;brave,honest and vulnerable without an ounce of conceit.
You’re probaly right about the heat and the night – I had just viewed that fairly existenially.
