NOTE: listening to this album over the Winter gave me the idea for Side 2 - 1 Song when I was trying to figure out my second favorite after Imitation of Life, which led me to trying to figure out the same about Reckoning, and then I started wondering what everyone else thought. It’s been a cool journey so far & I’ve learned so much from everyone here.

So to start out, what’s your favorite song from Murmur side 2 with Sitting Still removed from the list?

I thought this show was an analogy for becoming famous right? Like the writer became rich & famous and started seeing the world of her fans as not human anymore, just people that worshiped her & were there to serve her.

And the guy in S America was like Howard Hughes, with his fans at the fence.

But I just can’t stand either of them, they are judgmental, sullen, negative, and insist on doing everything the hard way & alienating everyone.

Thoughts?
