I’m not usually much of one for bluegrass, but I really, really like this song by the semi-local (Duluth) band Trampled by Turtles (which also ranks up there for favorite band names):
Trampled By Turtles-Wait So Long from Justin Gustavison on Vimeo.
Also one of the few times I think actually like the band better after seeing a video of them. It’s rare, because usually it seems to ruin something seeing a music video with the one “official” interpretation of the song, but here I kind of like it. It fits just well enough to not break the image of them I had in my head from the music, while at the same time making me think a bit more about it and leaving things open.
I especially like the interlude around two minutes in and the lyrics right after it:
And your heart goes on like a frozen freight train
You know that I help you if I can
But I’m just a raindrop in a river
Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand
Really like the “Welcome home” t-shirt too.
