Yeah, this one is my favorite, with Fever coming in a close second. I too love the Mockingbird reference, as well as the Cousteau expedition. Think it could be based on that lullaby "Mockingbird" as in "Daddy's gonna buy you a Mockingbird"? |

I really really like this song. In particular, I like the idea that when he thinks no one is looking, Death shows more of his "human" side, singing about his hunger and lust to the spiders. I also like how the song starts out with a marching beat, to echo the ants' march (our march toward death? prisoners of our destination?) and then turns into a lovely swinging, soulful beat. On a side note, has anyone noticed how many references to trains there are in this album? Seems like she talks about trains, and rails, and tracks, etc. In this one, Death is hanging out "where once they did make rails" Brings to mind images from a forgone time.... |
