Songs For Your Day

Soundtrack of the day is “Who Will Survive, and What Will Be Left of Them?” by Murder By Death. I mean, come on. It’s a horror story of an album (scroll down to the additional info and Adam has the story written out song by song).

The music is brilliant and are matched in brilliance by lyrics like these:

there’s a girl with a flower pot full of dirt and bullet shells she puts it by her window gives it sunlight restores its health after a month or two the shells start to grow into branches of barbed wire they spread across the walls the windows and the floors and their grip never tires.

And:

old scratch has dealt us a dirty hand he had the look of a saint but the greed of a man and his face was worn and wrinkled like a leather book and if i put this revolver to my head will god turn against me instead of taking pity on a broken man?

And:

set the fields on fire let the devil come let him come I’ll be waitin’ for him this time I am stronger now and I can fight it I’ll be waitin’ at the end of the line.

Happy Hallows everyone!
