Romulus
As part of my campaign to discover new music and musicians who
have in fact been around for years without my having any idea they
existed. I would direct your attention to Sufjan Stevens
particularly the song "Romulus". The last time I heard this song on the radio, I
decided I needed to know its name and who did it.
It may be a song about being brought up by wolves, so far as I can
tell. This is a methaphor that can cut two ways. It could refer to
being brought up by wolves, essentually referencing them. One can
see, as well, that this lends itself to a statement about what a person
becomes - who is raised by wolves. Or possibly it's just about a town
called Romulus.
I'm always surprised to go and find this sort of thing in the iTunes store but there it is complete with a biography Greetings from Michigan - the Great Lakes State. Sefjan Stevens. These, which look like ordinary links and come from iTunes, will cause
your browser to put up a user prompt declaring it can show you what you
seek, but only if you have iTunes and you allow the browswer to launch it Sefjan Stevens Biography - iTunes Music Store. Yet, I could barely find a thing there for Daddy Yankee, go figure.
I'm considering learning Spanish just to know what Karla the host of Pepsi Musica is saying [turns out when I talked about that show previously, that was the debut episode 'Pepsi Musica' to Launch on Telefutura Network Saturday, April 24 ].
I read somewhere that Sufjan Stevens, satisfied with the way
"Greetings from Michigan" turned out, endeavors to travel through and
write a song album - [chalk that up to cognitive dissonance ] for every state in the union.
A song about July
"I say your uncle was a crooked french canadian, who
was gut shot running gin...and the water rolls down the drain and the
water rolls down the drain... July July July! it never seemed so
strange." July July : the Decemberists "
