“I got this Akron/Family record. I got it a long time... when it came out. My dad gave it to me and it's one of my favorite albums. I think that the song 'I'll Be on the Water' is one of the most beautiful songs ever made. The lyrics and the instrumentation and the arrangement and everything about it. And I've loved it consistently since I first heard it, which I think is pretty special because a lot of times, when you have those songs that you listen to a million times on repeat you sort of grow out of them. But I haven't grown out of that one, so I like this record.”Watch this moment
