Yes! One of Fugazi's finest moments, and that's saying a lot!

A year later, I still listen to this song severaly times daily.

I am glad I put it in the Gmail account to let other people obsess over it.

I have been torturing my wife with "my uncle used to love me but she died".
I've probably played it 20 times today.

this was because someone mentioned roger miller in the sad songs thread, i went and downloaded some stuff cos i didn't know who he was.

This is my favorite song ever, hands down. Goddamnit. This Clarence Ashley had a way of phrasing that is honestly mind-boggling. His voice sounds like strings snapping. I am also partial tohis version of the song "The House Carpenter", which also sits on that comp.

If I could find a way to somehow solubilize these songs, I wouldn't hesitate to inject them straight into my vains on a regular basis.

Quite into this lately for whatever reason and I'm having trouble getting over it. Infinite repeat for God knows how long.phpBB [media]BECAUSE WHY NOT.

Never thought I'd get into Mendelssohn so much:Apparently he wrote this in memorium after his sister, who was also a composer, died. It was one of the last things he wrote, dying six months after her. That recapitulation and ending is fucking amazing. Great student performance too!phpBB [media]Powerful stuff.
