Tis the Season Vol. 2 Song 15 - The Walkmen: "Canadian Girl"

Someday i'm gonna make a list of perfect songs, or more correctly songs i believe to perfect and when i make that list this song is gonna be on it, maybe the other one i posted today as well, but this one is a definite, it's mood and tone and lyrics are fucking perfect, argue if you like but your nonsense will fall on deaf ears, see if the Smiths and Joy Division and Black Flag and Jane's Addiction were the music of my teens and twenties then bands like The Walkmen and The National are the bands of my thirties and forties, the guys in those band are roughly the same age as me, they've been plugging along and working on their craft and finally reaping the rewards of being in a nutshell, great bands with great songs, i mean we all know that Arcade Fire are the critic's darlings but i rate The National a bit higher and this band even higher than that, i think this band will be the hidden gem that is listened to years from now but then what do i know?  what i do know is this is the music i've grown up with, literally, these are the bands that i was listening to as i grew into manhood, from boy to man and from son to father, the ones i hummed late at night while rocking tired eyes back to sleep with my own tired eyes and i realize now that i hold them as dear to me as my beloved Smiths or New Order, they just remind me of different things which in my small and drug addled mind is absolutely beautiful, it's as it should be, god knows i may be learning something, which is also as it should be...
