    Somewhat unrelated, but “Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes” from Paul Simon is a fucking banger

      She’s a rich girl, she don’t try to hide it. Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

      He’s a poor boy, empty as a pocket. Empty as a pocket, with nothing to lose.

            So I gotta ask, because I’ve always noticed this about the song:

            In the first chorus, is the electric guitar that plays between the brass lines, two chords, tuned slightly higher than the rest of the band? It sounds different than the second chorus.

      George Krikes does my favorite cover of that one, on the “stories” yt channel (run by the guitarist from Scary Pockets, same studio). Great channel overall.
