This is a complete transcription of the main parts of “Window Facing a Window”. The recording features another dynamic interplay between the acoustic guitar and double bass. Notice the beautiful mic’ing of the guitar that captures all the squeaks and nuances of Blake Mills’s dynamic playing. This haunting composition is partly based on the Mexican ballad El Ciego written by Armando Manzanero, which is why he is also credited. Enjoy!
Blake Mills also performed the song solo on the Live from Here radio show (30th of May). On that same session, he also covered “Spiegel im Spiegel” by Arvo Pärt, whose title [Mirror in the Mirror] shares an imagery of reflection and recursiveness that could give inspiration as to the meaning of the lyrics.
