I have a 13th floor elevators record which I enjoy from time to time. Roky has a great voice that teeters on the verge of break down. Watching the documentary about Roky Erickson I came across this song and immediately picked up the sound track. He takes a simple song and with his voice alone elevates it to a special level. It is intensified by the fact at the end of the song Roky asks if the recorder is on, as if there was almost a chance that this great performance was lost. It makes you wonder were there other times when the recorder was off.
Lyrics of Note (As I heard them):
For you
With tears in my eyes
For you
Happiness and Love meets my cry
For you
