Today's Song

Well, maybe not todays song in the sense that I change it every day, but in the sense that it is currently today, and this is when you're looking at it. :-)

The Cure - Burn [6238Kb] [Lyrics]
This is the title track from the movie "The Crow". Haiku-like imagery, he paints three tiny snapshots of the emotion of loss. I'm not usually a Cure fan, but this song haunted me for weeks.

Wierd Al Yankovich - The Saga Begins [5144Kb]

A complete summary of the "The Phantom Menace", done to the tune of "American Pie". Incontheivable! You can even see the video clip for this on Wierd Al's own site, at http://www.sagabegins.com/.

Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street
I still don't understand this song, and it's been almost ten years. I probably never will. It seems to be about becomming, or not being allowed to become, or maybe about being caught in between. The words make little sense on their own. Just listen to the voices...
Clannad - The Bridge
Damn, the Irish can sing.
