Last night John Darnielle released a new song that will not appear on the forthcoming album All Eternals Deck via Twitter after he surpassed 5,000 followers.

It’s a beautiful, lilting song featuring Darnielle on the piano accompanied by strings.

Darnielle explains: “I am super fond of it but it does not really fit into the All Eternals Deck. Just a much different mood… This song was written last summer, I recorded piano and voice and then sent it to the amazing Leanne Zacharias for strings.”

He goes on to say: ” If you enjoy the song and have a few bucks to spare, show love to http://www.nextdoor.org they are awesome & their work means so much to me”
