Bob Dylan - Ballad of Hollis Brown
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin brokin’ down.
You looked for work and money
And you walked a rugged mile
You looked for work and money
And you walked a rugged mile
Your children are so hungry
That they don’t know how to smile.
Your baby’s eyes look crazy
They’re a-tuggin’ at your sleeve
Your baby’s eyes look crazy
They’re a-tuggin’ at your sleeve
You walk the floor and wonder why
With every breath you breathe.
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
If there’s anyone that knows
Is there anyone that cares ?
You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
Your empty pocket tell you
That you ain’t a-got no friend.
Your babies are crying louder now
It’s pounding on your brain
Your babies are crying louder now
It’s pounding on your brain
Your wife’s screams are stabbin’ you
Like the dirty drivin’ rain.
Your grass is turning black
There’s no water in your well
Your grass is turning black
There’s no water in your well
Your spent your last lone dollar
On seven shotgun shels.
Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Your eyes fix on the shortgun
That’s hangin’ on the wall.
Your brain is a-bleedin’
And your legs can’t seem to stand
Your brain is a-bleedin’
And your legs can’t seem to stand
Your eyes fix on the shortgun
That you’re holdin’ in your hand.
There’s seven breezes a-blowin’
All around the cabin door
There’s seven breezes a-blowin’
All around the cabin door
Seven shots ring out
Like the ocean’s pounding roar.
There’s seven people dead
On a south Dakota farm
There’s seven people dead
On a south Dakota farm
Somewhere in the distance
There’s seven new people born.

The Skillet Lickers, John Henry {The Steel Driving Man}
When John Henry was a little baby boy, sitting on the his papa’s knee
Well he picked up a hammer and little piece of steel
Said Hammer’s gonna be the death of me, lord, lord
Hammer’s gonna be the death of mineThe captain said to John Henry
I’m gonna bring that steam drill around
I’m gonna bring that sterm drill out on the job
I’m gonna whup that steel on downJohn Henry told his captain
Lord a man ain’t nothing but a man
But before I’d let your steam drill beat me down
I’d die with a hammer in my handJohn Henry asid to his shaker
Shaker why don’t you sing
Because I’m swinging thirty pounds from my hips on down
Just listen to that cold steel ringNow the captain said to John Henry
I believe that mountain’s caving in
John Henry said right back to the captain
Ain’t nothing but my hammer sucking windNow the man that invented the steam drill
He thought he was mighty fine
But John Henry srove fifteen feet
The steam drill only made nineJohn Henry hammered in the mountains
His hammer was striking fire
But he worked so hard, it broke his poor heart
And he laid down his hammerand he diedNOw John Henry had a little woman
Her name was polly Anne
John Henry took sick and had to go to bed
Polly Anne drove steel like a manJohn Henry had a little baby
You could hold him in the palm of your hand
And the last words I heard that poor boy say
My daddy was a steel driving manSo every Monday morning
When the blue dirds begin to sing
You can hear John Henry a mile or more
You can hear John Henry’s hammer ring

Birds Are Changing Their Tune : Discovery News
When bombarded by noise pollution, some male birds begin to sing higher tunes, found a new study. And that tonal shift makes them less attractive to females.
The findings suggest that birds must make difficult trade-offs in urban areas and places where traffic and industrial noises threaten to drown them out. Either they sing less appealing songs or tones in an effort to rise above the din, or they sing the songs that make them sound appealing at the risk of not being heard at all.
“If females can hear all song types equally well, they will go for the sexy ones, but if they cannot hear the sexy ones well anymore, then they might just go for the songs they can still hear,” said Wouter Halfwerk, a behavioral ecologist at Leiden University in the Netherlands. “It could very well be that noise pollution is interfering with reproductive decisions by females.”

man, these girls sound like they’re about to summon amaterasu, who, after a few cycles of Taiga will descend from the sun like a plane-dropped piggly wiggly leaflet, bringing about an eternal mattress of august that will buoy and brighten even the coolest corners of earth under pillows, and that’s as “frank” and “off the cuff” as I’ll be about this band

Federico Mompou, Musica Callada Book 1-9 (1959-67)
Federico Mompou, piano
This music has no air or light. It is a weak heart beat, you cannot ask it to reach more than a few inches into space, but it’s mission is to reach the profound depths of our soul and the secret regions of our spirit’s spirit. This music is silent because it is heard in one’s inner self. Restraint and discretion. The emotion remains hidden, and the sounds only take shape when they find echoes in the bareness of our solitude. It is my desire that this music should bring us closer to the warmth of life, and the expression of the human heart, that is always the same and constantly changing.
