Short January almost caught me out, and here we are almost half-way through February. Not enough decent songs out there? Anyway, here's one and, ok, I thought it was Hamish Hawk moving on from Divine Comedy to plunder Echo and the Bunnymen. But, no, it's a nifty trio from Vermont.

Thus love - Repetitioner

First Aid Kit – America

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy70q_aw GUk

Don’t think I’ll hear anything else today as purely beautiful as this. Here’s where those sisterly harmonies really count! One of my favourite lines in a song, "It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw", probably because of that stupendous melodic lift it gets. I thought the town was maybe chosen just to scan, but no, Paul was actually there to play before hitching off to meet Kathy and perform the rest of the song. Finally got around to googling the place, I was curious to see that Theodore Roethke was born there, a poet I’ve never particularly liked, but his song describing his hometown is funny, detailed and vulgar.

“In Saginaw, in Saginaw,
The wind blows up your feet,
When the ladies' guild puts on a feed,
There's beans on every plate,
And if you eat more than you should,
Destruction is complete.

In Saginaw, in Saginaw,
There's never a household fart,
For if it did occur,
It would blow the place apart,—
I met a woman who could break wind
And she is my sweet-heart.”

That is quite beautiful Pádraig. I wish there were a full album. Thank you for the link.
