6-21-11 - "Sons & Daughters" ~ The Decemberists

Here's a catchy and hopeful song for the summer solstice.  By the way, have you ever stopped to think that from the first day of summer (i.e. - today, unless you're one of the fine folks from the Southern Hemisphere who checks out my blog) on, the days are getting shorter?  Summer is actually the waning of the days... so every day of your summer is less awesome than the last.  What a downer, eh?


But anyway, the song.  It's about the hope of moving forward to a new place and starting a new life.  I think a listener could apply it to starting a new phase in life, as well; you don't have to be immigrating to a new country or anything to draw meaning from the song...




"We'll build our walls aluminum
We'll fill our mouths with cinnamon..."
