subject a yodel song
mailed-by gmail.com
On my way “home” tonight to my current dwelling (a room I rent in the hip Silver Lake), I listened to the attached song for 26 minutes (I set it on repeat) in my car loan’s car.
It happens on occasion, between four and six times a year, that a song comes across me that is so pleasant to my ears that I listen to it on repeat for hours in a day for several days in a row. Having the urge to email friends blind carbon copy with an attached song is a first. Please send me good thoughts so that I don’t get an online citation from online cops for emailing a song that just cost the music industry thousands of US dollars.
I am currently (as of 1:05am July 29, 2007) digesting the lyrics to this bittersweet song. I am curious to read or hear you voice your thoughts sometime.
Lyrics to “Yodel“, a song by Nellie McKay, a young New Yorker piano prodigy
Standing in the break of a yawn
where you done left me alone
there’s nothing happening to hide
Sitting in the shade of the lawn
as everybody goes home
there’s nothing left here to find
Standing with my back to the wall
minding the sky as it’s falling all around me
Listening for a break in the rain
for it’s not drowning my pain anymore…
Standing in the shade of the yard
where everybody works hard
and everybody is dying
walking up the town boulevard
where I’m found out as a fraud
and there’s nobody who’s buying
watch her live
