Day 10: A song you like that tells a story

Joe Henry - This Close To You
Now, i'm not sure what the story is... Joe is a master writer, one of my favourites (ok, THE favourite), but he leaves enough for you to fill in the gaps. The album version of this has the Jayhawks backing him, but this is a fab live version.
Why is he leaving? Where is he going? That line about them talking in their sleep... whatever, he's not coming back.

Day 9
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Stranger Than Kindness.

There is something about this man's voice that makes me go feral. Add the lyrics to this song and I'm lost

I'm with you 100%, just stunning

Inspired by Ray Bradbury - one of the greatest storytellers ever.

Richard Thompson: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning

Beat me to it. Also, best line ever written: “red hair and black leather, my favorite colour scheme”. (I included the extraneous U because Thompson obviously sang it.)

Day 10: A song you like that tells a story

There’s nobody in my generation that can hear someone start a story with “ok, here’s the situation” and NOT respond with “my parents went away on a week’s vacation.” It’s in our DNA

Every Thanksgiving it's the same thing. We sleep in, watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on tv, then book it out to the car to get the radio on for the classic rock station's noon playing of Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" as we drive to the in-law's.

In my house, this marks the beginning of the acceptable Christmas music season. Pretty sure it’s in the Bible somewhere. “Thou shalt not listen to Christmas music until after the airing of Alice’s Restaurant”. Arlo 4:20.
