Wow, I just walked in the room and thought "That's gotta be Ennio Morricone"

Wow, suddenly there's a lot of Ennio Morricone influences in a lot of music - Love it!

We go from this to David Bowie - Cat People (Putting Out Fire). ???
That's a rather jarring transition, RP.

I wish this song were longer, and the slow-down at the end shorter.

Thank you. I've liked Old 97s for ages. Mr. Oberst is a bit more of an acquired taste. A band that sounds a bit like both suits me just fine.

Ooh! it just hit me! The acoustic with horns bit reminds me of "The Corn Years" era Death In June.

I think this was one of the first songs I rated on RP. I never get tired of it.

This went from a four to a seven for me, but I sure do not like the cover. It looks like a bad, drug-fueled drawing that you would throw away in the morning. ugh


Look again. It's an action sketch; reactionary impulses of lines set down on paper by the artist witnessing movement over time often without even looking at the sketchpad. Back in the studio they would be refined down to a single frozen image to convey the chosen moment. Sometimes the sketch is more lively than the final result. Here: meh.

I really like the beginnin of this tune. Had the words all wrong, still like the ones in my head better than the real ones.

Don't care much for the horns sounds like a different tune all together.

Like Eagle Eye Cherry or something.
