Wow… I LOVE getting to experience these demos.

I can’t thank you enough for sharing.

This being my favorite song on the record; and getting to hear the nuances & thinking of the touches of “ooohhhhaaahhh, ooohhhhaaahhh”s etc. makes my heart so full! 💕🙏🏻

Great song and demo's always bring out the raw flavor of a song. Love this album. Been a HS fan for 20 years and have enjoyed your solo work but this album is next level. I really can't enough of it. The song Shamrock could have been on Springsteens Nebraska. Keep Going!!!

And maybe some comments & “thinking” are better kept to yourself… but here we are having to read this crap.

Actually, I think you missed the part about “our inability to completely grasp our loved ones workplaces,” whatever they may be.

Who cares?! I love it.

Craig wrote it, it’s his art and to criticize it for being a Dr and nurse is sadly pathetic in my opinion. I won’t be writing more.

Funnily enough, if you read Lousy With Ghosts, the little book that accompanies the album, you'll find that there is a bunch of back story about the guy Daniel, who features in some of these songs. He's an actor who plays a doctor in a TV show, ends up losing his job and died of an OD in a motel bathtub. And this song is in that world, the nurse is on the TV show too. So if it is clichéd, that could be a whole additional thing.

Hard to say, I've never met anyone who has worked in a hospital.
