js_thrill The song for today is "New Star Song"
I don't think I have much to say about this song or the annotation, today. It's a pleasant enough song, and the annotation mentions the song is largely autobiographical about a short trip Darnielle took to go visit some friends (but "the freezing person up in Canada is an invention"). I think in order for me to keep up the year long marathon of posting, I need to allow myself days where I just say "yeah, this is a fine song, and that was an nice brief story about it's origins" so that I don't find myself resentful/avoidant of the task I've given myself.
