    Glorious Very Specific Song Moments

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    The Unfaithful Servant - The Band. Probably my favourite Band song.

     

    2:08 - "Goodbye to that country home, so long to the lady I have known.

    Farewell to my other side, I guess I'll just take it in stride."

     

    3:39 - Robbie takes an audible breath during his guitar solo.

     

    3:49 - The horns come in to take us home.

    We went and saw the new film about Nick Cave, 20 000 Days on Earth, yesterday at the Sydney Film Festival.

    It was such a beautiful film. I've been a fan of Nick Cave since The Good Son came out so I'm definitely a blinkered Bad Seeds apologist but this "documentary" was truly remarkable. The driving scenes were very enjoyable. So was the scene where he sits down to a lunch of eel prepared by Warren Ellis and they discuss Nina Simone. It's quite inspiring on such a creative level in that it's a reminder of our time here on earth ticking away. Anyone who is even vaguely familiar with his work should see this film.

    Now Reading in 2014

    I'm so glad to have found this author through your posts. I've been making my way through his novels slowly, to savor them, since they're relatively short. Reading The Motel Life now. His barebones style paints stark and desolate images of people who have pretty much fallen through the cracks. They are honestly a little depressing, but I keep going back for more.

     

    Yeah, they're a lot like that. You just want to go back in again. Amidst all of that desolation there are sparks of hope and that's what makes them compulsive reading. Aside from this, he cares about his characters so much.

    Today I happened to start watching the Levon Helm documentary on Netflix. I was looking at a music news site and noticed it is his birthday. And in the first few minutes of the film he mentions the town where I live.

     

    I hope you watch the rest of it. I particularly enjoyed the scenes showing Levon and Larry Campbell working together.
