Rex: A Mother, Her Autistic Child, and the Music that Transformed Their Lives: by Cathleen Lewis
I saw young Rex on 60 Minutes and he blew my mind. Born blind and severely autistic, within a couple years Rex's family discovered he also happened to be a music savant. Rex can hear and repeat any piece of music he hears, including lyrics - in any language! Truly incredible and I look forward to this more in-depth look into an amazing life, as written by his mother.

This somber song is currently in heavy rotation on my playlist. The piano accompaniment is tender and Eno's voice really zones me out in a relaxing way.

The contrast of his signature gravelly voice combined with this touching song ... People either love or hate Tom Waits.
