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).
