Crown of Love, by Arcade Fire.
This song is one that stuck in my head for years. I remember hearing it live the first time we went to see Arcade Fire in person, at the arena in DC, after putting on our facepaint/glitter at the hotel, being told by guys in t-shirts that my seersucker looked uncomfortably warm… was that the show Antibalas and Dan Deacon opened? I think it was. Anyway…
“the only thing you keep changing
is your name.
my love keeps growing,
still the same,
like a cancer,
and you won’t give me a straight answer.”
…kills me.
This song deserves all the usual orchestration and whatnot, but it was time to sing this for the dog, who has been a pain in the butt for a couple days.
