What A Wonderful Man

*4.7 out of 5*

The most victorious, fuck-yeah song off of My Morning Jacket's 2005 Z is "What A Wonderful Man", written in celebration of the band's dear friend and former band member Aaron Todovich, who took his own life. Lead singer Jim James told "Velocity Weekly" in an interview about his frustration with bands writing sad songs about dead people. He was like fuck it, I loved this guy, let's celebrate. This live version off of MMJ's powerfully full-sounding live album Okonokos is the song's best released recording.

There is no way better to honor your friend like the solo that kills at 1:16.
