“Without a scar, we don't have a story.”
- Berry Simpson
Friday means lyrics that are cool. Words that linger. Things said that have never been said that way before. Here goes:
The Golden State/John Doe & Kathleen Edwards: Here's Doe, of the 80s LA punk band X, teaming up with one of my Canadian faves, Ms Edwards:
“You are, the hole in my head”
Mockingbird/Ruston Kelly: Kelly was once married to Kacey Musgraves. Shockingly, it did not last. Given the soft spot I have for her, his name-checking actress Parker Posey was what grabbed me in this one, What a talent she is. Whatever role she plays, she kills.
"Pretty wings, you're the prettiest thing
You're like, Parker Posey in a magazine"
The Book of Love/Peter Gabriel: It's Peter Gabriel. That's all that need be said.
"The book of love is long and boring
And no one can lift the damn thing"
Someone else's turn.
