Joyner also collaborated with John Darnielle, of The Mountain Goats, and Beck listed Joyner in his top 10 albums when asked by Rolling Stone.

I think that smile is shutting down 
Or maybe it's just flinching 
The sun shot up just like a child 
But these old hands are only inching 
Would you believe it is my fault 
I went and made myself lonely 
I miss the way she said my name 
Like I was a distant city 

Winter came and swept away 
The birds nest from my chimney 
The cold air marched right through the walls 
And settled her in my belly 
But her memory keeps me tossing 
Those letters into the fire 
And the flames they're twitching 
A love which has retired 

Now New York is not a place I'd choose 
To have my body buried 
But Omaha has got the trains to take 
The snow to the cemetery 
There is a place called home I believe 
If you're willing to step out of the loop 
I miss the way she held on to me 
Like I was a parachute
