Jason Isbell - Elephant


my first two thoughts were Isbell's Live Oak ("Well I carved a cross from live oak, and a box from shortleaf pine. Buried her so deep, she touched the water table line") and Yvette ("I let out my breath. And I couple with death. I couple with death.")

Neither of those is really "about death," but those lines came to mind. And that Live Oak version has Amanda Shires on violin--i saw her last summer and wow.

The other Death Cab song is I Will Follow You Into The Dark, of course.

Jackson Browne's For A Dancer (awesome live version with David Lindley on violin--onions).

Sufjan Stevens has been popping up in my playlist today. Pretty much pick any one of his songs (I think someone said Vesuvius already.) Death With Dignity and the one about "cancer of the bone" come to mind.
