Very dark B-side track here. Illustrative of Conor Oberst's storytelling ability. I've thought a lot of the b-side short story songs are as powerful as Hemingway short stories. If you can stand to listen to Oberst's voice.

 

[Gimmered]

One of my favorites.

 

[An Iowa fan]

Not a big fan.

This technically fits and I love this song. Country Conor Oberst. The lyrics translate as pretty country without the song so her goes:

He didn't give you that nickname
But you smile when he calls you Enola Gay
Turns the lights down low for your migraines
And fetches what you strew
All around your room, up and down the hall
Asking for your Sodium Pentathol
So you can read aloud from your big tell-all
Anecdotes and platitudes


This world's mean, getting meaner too
So, why'd you have to make it all about you?
There's no harm in stepping to the side
Light your hurricane lamp when the sky goes dark
The wind's pissed off and the sun's at large
Know what you gotta do, it's just a matter of pride
Till you vanish like the rest, out of sight and out of mind


Been working all day in the control room
Mashing Charles Manson songs up with Showtunes
The feelings come quick but they leave as soon
Like music from a passing car
It's crowded in the club where you meet your friends
I'm tryin' to save some room for the elephant
Every day's a chore and you're not done yet
You didn't think it'd be this hard

The roots be good, we're a nervous crew
So, why're you trying to make it all about you?
It's not so bad, it's just a flash of light
Light your hurricane lamp when the sky goes dark
The rain's upset, it just falls apart
You will get your wish, it's just a matter of time
Until you vanish like the rest, out of sight and out of mind
Until you vanish like the rest, out of sight

I know a girl by the name of Rain so this counts....



And I have a 90 year old neighbor named Bee...and this song was inspired by the Bee Girl in the No Rain video.

[Titus Andronicus]

Did I overlook it or has no one said “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”?

The theme song for the movie was "Moon River." Henry Mancini ..

 

[Titus Andronicus]

Here are a couple Joan of Arc songs:

Heather Dale .... "Joan": This is a stylized version from somewhere, but that is Miss. Dale singing.



Joan of Arc ... Judy Collins

 

[Titus Andronicus]

Performed by Anne Lorne Gillies .... "The Ballad of Alice Brand" ... originally written by Walter Scott as part of his epic poem "The Lady of the Lake."



And another by Heather Dale: Tristan and Isolt

Was never quite sure if April was the girl or the month that Chuck got a piece of her. In case it is the girl....

Great song. I really love the longer version, with the “Falling in and Out of Love” intro
