Reply To: Favorite Songs List
went back and looked at my earlier list, which was
Shop Vac,
Skullcrusher Mountain,
Big Bad World, One,
Madelaine, and
I Crush Everything,
and i think i have to make some changes. shop vac will never budge because that's my number one, all time, but i think i have to knock big bad world, one off for lady aberline's muumuu. i never even watched mr rogers very much as a kid, but i need more soothing music in my life, and the themes of childlike innocence and fantasy are ones that frequently occupy my mind.
i crush everything can't go either – too well-made, too high-quality. skullcrusher mountain also has a special place in my heart – the place that wants to kill all humans and raze every remnant of their society to the ground, that is – but i kind of want to find a place on the list for always the moon, and i think that despite my objections, noted elsewhere, to certain features of the song, it bumps madelaine. i like the simplicity of the music, the very stripped and basic sound. it's very appropriate to the emotional tone of the lyrics, so that taken as a whole it presents a very stark and striking picture of the narrator's feelings.
so:
