Unfortified Castle

This site is dedicated to discussion of popular music, but explaining today's choice necessitates a flashback to the Romantic era.

I didn't realize that until I looked a little closer for this post, which also led me to appreciating the song even more.

125 seconds. 26 "I know"s. Four chords. One perfectly short piece of art.

It's also just a plain good song from a band that, yes, isn't just a meme.

I was first drawn to this Smiths track by its odd form, but with every listen, I feel a deeper connection to the lyrics and their setting.

Little changes go a long way for Eric Carmen and the Raspberries.
