gaslight anthem: the ‘59 sound
The Gaslight Anthem – 59 Sound from Kevin J Custer on Vimeo.
Well, I wonder which song they’re gonna play when we go.
I hope it’s something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
when we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
I hope we don’t hear Marley’s chains we forged in life.
’cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life.
Redbird: Ships
Now he’s out on a boat on the ocean
turning around and around
Lashed to the mast and free at last
out on the rolling sea
out on the rolling sea
Old Crow Medicine Show: I Hear Them All
I hear the sounds of tearing pages
And the roar of burning paper
All the crimes in acquisition
Turn to air and ash and vapor
And the rattle of the shackle
Far beyond emancipators
And the loneliest who gather in their stalls
I hear them all
Wilco: War on War
You are not my typewriter
But you could be my demon
moving forward through the flaming doors
You have to lose
You have to learn how to die
if you want to want to be alive
Bruce Springsteen: Atlantic City (Live)
Everything dies, baby that’s a fact. But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.
Neil Young, “Ohio”
In honor of the battleground: Tin soldiers and Nixon’s comin’. We’re finally on our own.
