Denis has done it again. His covers keep getting better and more beautiful. I love this acoustic version of "Everything Dies". The beginning line of "I like vitamins" sounds like he's saying "I like lima beans", which I thought was hilarious, but I'm definitely not upset about it. I just will laugh from now on whenever I hear the song haha. But on a serious note, he did this absolutely perfectly. I never would have thought to make this song acoustic, but I'm sure glad he did. He made it sound so delicate. And where I felt like his last one was slightly lacking in emotion, this one is packed full of it. I've listened to it probably a dozen times since it came out, and I'm still noticing new details. The backing harmonic vocals are absolutely gorgeous. I just can't get enough of this one. I especially love how soft he made the parts where Peter screams. I can't wait to see what he does next. ~Gangis

Fancher and I kept in touch over the next few years. I moderated link a panel he was on at one point, and I always made sure to stop by his booth at Worn & Wound's WindUp Watch Fair to say hello and check out Oak & Oscar's latest releases. I'd tell him I knew I was going to end up buying one of his watches at some point, link and in turn, he'd typically mention something about visiting him link in Chicago.
