This next tune is a bit of a time-traveler—it’s dark, it’s haunting, and it cuts straight to the bone. It’s a little number called ‘Behind the Bars’ by that soulful troubadour Elliot Smith, a cat who’s been digging deep and mining the kind of heartache you don’t hear on your usual hit parade. This one’s for those late nights when the world’s spinning too fast and all you want is a little quiet. So pour yourself a cup of whatever gets you through, light up a smoke if you got one, and let Elliot take you on a ride down the shadowy side streets of your mind. Here’s ‘Behind the Bars,’ and remember—sometimes the blues is the only truth there is.
