song length: 5m 58s
this song has been haunting me for about a week now, and in my current state i'm tempted to say this is probably the ultimate song about solitude, with the saddest first line ever penned in rock music. in so few words mark kozelek captures moods from fleeting moments as we go through the motions, and makes them nearly tactile:
uncle joebest listened to alone in your room in the middle of the night. what do you listen to when you feel most alone?
mark kozelek
where have all the people gone in my life?
i’m looking at the ceiling
with an awful feeling of loss
and loneliness
the after late night television pain
i’m running out of strength

thanks cliff. i've checked out your suggestions on itunes music store (which streams 30-second clips) and liked what i heard, especially ralph myerz's here is love and casino.
ReplyDeletethe vocalist of ephemera sounds like she's from the same family of voices as feist whom as you know the kings have worked with. and that's a good thing!
