9-17-11 - "Poke" ~ Frightened Rabbit

Here's an exquisite take on a relationship which is self-destructing.  Taken from "The Midnight Organ Fight", this track is one part of the tale of fierce love gone awry, falling shortly after "Keep Yourself Warm" on the album's tracklist.  Songs like this caused Frightened Rabbit to wind their way into my heart - the emotional wounds cut to the bone, and their freshness is evident in Scott Hutchison's voice on every song, but particularly this one... it's just the voice and subdued strumming on his guitar.

Live performance:

"Why won't our love keel over as it chokes on a bone?

We can mourn its passing and then bury it in snow..."
