Yeah, I know that I said something about the Weird Al battles beginning again today, but it came to me that posting this song now would be a good idea. For it was covered by [Jo-El Sonnier] a few years back, and this is the kind of music that might be included in a [Treme] episode.
No, it is not a traditional New Orleans jazz tune. In fact, I’m not really sure what musical genre it belongs to. For even Sonnier’s cover sounds just like Thompson’s original version, and Thompson is a [Scot] in every sense of the word. Anyway, I just know that I like it a lot, and I hope you will, too.

Tear-Stained Letter
Richard Thompson
It was three in the mornin’
When she took me apart
She wrecked the furniture
She wrecked my heart
She danced on my head
Like Arthur Murray
The scars ain’t never goin’
To mend in a hurry
Just when I thought
I could learn to forget her
Right through the door
Come a tear-stained letter
Oh
Oh
Oh
Love
Love
Cry cry
If it makes you feel better
Set it all down
In a tear-stained letter
Oh
Oh
Oh
Love
Love
Cry cry
If it makes you feel better
Set it all down
In a tear-stained letter
Well my head was beatin’
Like a song by the Clash
It was writin’ checks
That my body couldn’t cash
Got to my feet
I was reelin’ and dizzy
I went for the phone
But the line was busy
Just when I thought that
Things would get better
Right through the door
Come a tear-stained letter
Oh
Oh
Oh
Love
Love
Cry cry
If it makes you feel better
Set it all down
In a tear-stained letter
Oh
Oh
Oh
Love
Love
Cry cry
If it makes you feel better
Set it all down
In a tear-stained letter
Well I like coffee
And I like tea
But I just don’t like
This fiddle-di-gee
It makes me nervous
It gives me the hives
Waitin’ for a kiss
From a bunch of fives
Just when I think
I could learn to forget her
Right through the door
Come a tear-stained letter
Oh
Oh
Oh
Love
Love
Cry cry
If it makes you feel better
Set it all down
In a tear-stained letter
Oh
Oh
Oh
Love
Love
Cry cry
If it makes you feel better
Set it all down
In a tear-stained letter
Oh
Oh
Oh
Love
Love
Cry cry
If it makes you feel better
Set it all down
In a tear-stained letter
Oh
Oh
Oh
Love
Love
Cry cry
If it makes you feel better
Set it all down
In a tear-stained letter

ReplyDeleteAll schools, all colleges, maintain two tremendous functions: to bestow on, and to hidden, valuable knowledge. The theological conception which they not reveal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a bloke is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to recognize that the bottom half of it is rotten.
ReplyDeleteWe are all but recent leaves on the just the same getting on in years tree of soul and if this mortal has adapted itself to new functions and conditions, it uses the same well-versed elementary principles beyond and for again. There is no real contradistinction between the sell out and the gyves who mows it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again(?), my dear Anonymous. You are starting to make more sense. Why not give an identity to yourself? If you do not want to sign up for a Google ID or something like that, just provide a name, moniker or something. Be assured that this has nothing to do with trying to track you down, but it would be helpful to me to know who I am addressing--even if under an assumed identity.
ReplyDeleteExhilaration is something sure and complete in itself, as being the target and end of all down-to-earth activities whatever .... Happiness then we state as the powerful exercise of the mind in conformity with perfect goodness or virtue.
ReplyDeleteAh, but what do we know of perfect goodness or virtue in, and of, ourselves? Please provide an identity for yourself, my dear Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteThe more things transformation, the more they wait the same.
ReplyDeleteJokes of the proper friendly, properly told, can do more to inform questions of politics, values, and data than any crowd of dull arguments.
ReplyDeleteYes, I fully agree that more can often be accomplished when the approach is light-hearted, but that rarely makes rejection any less painful for me to take. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Anonymous.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Anonymous. I missed you yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIt was formerly a cast doubt of finding to whether or not pungency had to have a connotation to be lived. It right now becomes perspicuous, on the contrary, that it purposefulness be lived all the think twice if it has no meaning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Anonymous, but you've lost me again. Could you bring it down a little more to my level? For I can be awfully simple-minded at times, and it would appear that this is one of them.
ReplyDeleteWhen he who hears does not know what he who speaks means, and when he who speaks does not be versed what he himself means, that is world-view
ReplyDeleteAh, but does this give us license to keep adding to the fog when it is brought to our attention that we are not being clearly understood? Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Anonymous.

ReplyDeleteNo houseman lives without jostling and being jostled; in all ways he has to elbow himself throughout the world, giving and receiving offence.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Anonymous. I fully agree that being offensive is often an unavoidable consequence of living in this world as we naturally are, but I would hope that we would resist the temptation to justify such behavior as being a necessity.

ReplyDeleteAnd you in the long run get to a consensus, where you turn someone on a judgement of what in effect ought to be done, and then they give it to me and then I use it. I without fail draw up it in the sense, the contemplative sense.
ReplyDeleteYes, the rich and powerful love laws. For they believe that they have the means (if not the right) to do as they wish with them, and if the poor and weak get trampled underfoot along the way, c'est la vie. Tragically, it is quite natural of all of us (regardless of our own circumstances) to just go with the flow for as long as we can swim. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteAnd you finally be paid to a consensus, where you turn someone on a judgement of what really ought to be done, and then they provide it to me and then I draw it. I without fail draw it in the drift, the theoretical sense.

ReplyDeleteI am struggling to understand, my dear Anonymous. I suppose I am more simple-minded than I would like to admit to.

ReplyDeleteSorry, but I still don't have a clue of what you are getting at, my dear Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if you have been the one who has been leaving all of the previous comments here as, Anonyomous, my dear Jessica. For the last one sure reads the same, and the one before that did, as well. However, the last two were what I would consider to be spam-like. For they contained links to an unrelated site, and they were left on an old post. It is for this reason that they were deleted. Be assured that there are better ways of calling attention to what sites you want to, if you are sincere in your efforts. Hey, why not just leave a comment on the most current post, and say something about it? If the site is a legitimate one that does not contain any really bad stuff, I would leave the comment stand, and I think many others would, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's not callous to institute decisions when you know what your values are.
ReplyDeleteIt all depends upon whether or not your values are righteous, my dear Anonymous. Thanks for stopping by again.
