one of my all-time favorite song may very well be neutral milk hotel's "from
the aeroplane over the sea", which is indeed about anne frank - and yes, the
lyrics are strange and at times pretty esoteric, but sometimes achingly
beautiful (fire up napster, if you want to give it a listen:)
"what a curious life, we have found here tonight
there is music that sounds from the street
there are light in the clouds, anna's ghost all around
hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing
through me, soft and sweet
how the notes all bend and reach above the trees
..can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all"
mm, i wonder who are salinger's favorite indie-pop bands? ;)
