js_thrill | This Year 365 songs: March 7th

Today our song is Cheshire County

We get a break from firearms related songs today, for a song that Darnielle talks about mostly in terms of it landing the "is it a poem or is it a song?" style of lyric writing he was aiming for at the time. I think it's a nice song, and you can definitely see some of the more poetic elements of the lyrics, as he describes them.

If you want a song featuring a cow, this is also a good choice for you.
