I know now that I can't make good
How I wish I could
Go back and put
Me where you stood
Nothing's really something now the whole thing's soot
It serves to suffer, make a hole in my foot
And hope you look
As I fill my book
What a waste of wood
Nothing's really happened like I thought it would
Ah, ah, ah
I can't rest on no dynasty
Yeah, what is wrong with me?
Man, I'm so sorry
I got the best of me
I really damn been on such a violent spree
But maybe you can still make a man from me
Here on Speyside quay
With what's left of me
As you live and breathe
I really know now what had hold on me
How I wish I could
Go back and put
Me where you stood
Nothing's really something now the whole thing's soot
It serves to suffer, make a hole in my foot
And hope you look
As I fill my book
What a waste of wood
Nothing's really happened like I thought it would
Ah, ah, ah
I can't rest on no dynasty
Yeah, what is wrong with me?
Man, I'm so sorry
I got the best of me
I really damn been on such a violent spree
But maybe you can still make a man from me
Here on Speyside quay
With what's left of me
As you live and breathe
I really know now what had hold on me

I really like this, and agree with previous posters regarding the fine guitar sound.
Intro is reminiscent of Wish You Were Here
(and then he does go on and sing "How I wish..." )

2024 has been the year that Bill start playing more new music or has more new music just been coming out?>

Instant 8
I can't get over how beautiful the guitar sounds on this track. Sounds like he's in room playing it, it's so present and warm. Great song and great production quality.

I could do with (a lot) more Bon Iver!

Bon Iver is one of those artists, in my opinion, that can throw you right into a specific and unique headspace with just a few notes. Sometimes, it's just the first note of a song.
That's pretty rare.

Sounds like something Trampled by Turtles would do a la Hollow
To answer William's question, which he surely knows by now, it's part of a 3 song EP called Sable.
