Neutral Milk Hotel – Untitled

• +2
  General Comment:This is a triumphant funeral march, like a New Orleans funeral but with irish folk-based rock instead of jazz. Anne wrote about her desire to live beyond her death through her writing (not just her diary, but the career in writing she wished to have), and was able to accomplish this.
  
  This funeral march stands in contrast to The Fool. "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.'" -- Psalm 14:1. So, Untitled may also be understood as a celebration of the resurrection of the dead.

    "Untitled may also be understood as a celebration of the resurrection of the dead. " -- which, of course, is exactly what a New Orleans funeral celebration is all about.
