The infantry stands, and holds out its hands. Bells are going to ring. Birds are going to sing! And all the people from the village will be there to congratulate us.
Pop music creates community through mass intimacy: to everyone, the same private feeling behind her own closed door. It's no wonder that there aren't more songs about grand public moments. Here are three.
Pencil Rain - They Might Be Giants
The Crowning - A Camp
A Wedding in Cherokee County - Randy Newman
Our houses will crumble, the city will fall. The thunderous clatter of splintering wood and lives that are claimed. Why must everybody laugh at my mighty sword?
All songs MP3@254kbps.
