There's something about Richard Manuel's voice that makes me choke up

I've probably posted this before, but I'll post it again because it's so beautiful.

I don't know if others do this, but I seem to cycle through my musical tastes. This week it's The Band.

If you find me in a gloom, or catch me in a dream
Inside my lonely room, there is no in between
Whispering pines, rising of the tide
If only one star shines
That's just enough to get inside
I will wait until it all goes 'round
With you in sight, the lost are found

Foghorn through the night, calling out to sea
Protect my only light, for she once belonged to me
Let the waves rush in, let the seagulls cry
For if I live again, these hopes will never die
I can feel you standing there
But I don't see you anywhere

Standing by the well, wishing for the rains
Reaching to the clouds, for nothing else remains
Drifting in a daze, when evening will be done
Try looking through a haze
At an empty house, in the cold, cold sun
I will wait until it all goes 'round
With you in sight, the lost are found

I think he had the least exposure of any other Band member. yet, he was really essential to this band's success.

About Robbie Robertson's voice that makes me feel dreamy and the need to sway.

Robbie co-wrote Whispering Pines with Richard to feature Manuel's voice.
