In my last post I talked about how the majority of singer / songwriters these days don't have much going for um. They for the most part are poor imitators of things from a better time, and rarely exude any sort of originality in what they do. They're ultimately forgettable amongst the terribly over-saturated market, because their music all blends together. Well...this Okkervil River song is pretty much about just that.
Favorite verse:
And this thing you once said disappeared from my head
in the time that it took to be amazed.
And this thing you once did might have dazzled the kids,
but the kids once grown up are gonna walk away.
And your world is gonna change nothing
And our world is gonna change nothing
That said I won't try and act all high and mighty like there is no one these days doing anything worth a shit, you just really gotta sift through the lot. Some of my favorites: David Bazan, Chuck Ragan, M. Ward, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Damien Jurado, and Rocky Votolato.
