Over the graves on the fourth of July
Riders on horses under national lights
A band that kept playing the very same notes
That was the fourth of July
Things like that now just won’t fly

The Court & Spark, once from San Francisco.

There will come a time gigantic
Waves will crush the junk that I have saved
When the moon explodes or floats away

An amazing band covering another one.

I’m faking my own death so I can get some rest
I know, I thought of everything
I thought of everything
Standing on the corner, just staring at the sky
Oh man, I saw a lotta things
I saw a lotta things

I don’t mind the give and take
The tensions not that bad
Wild and restless
The best I ever had

Every part of these lyrics, this music and this video is perfect. Hat tip to El Tigre for turning me on to this band.

Ain’t the point of growin’ up
To leave it all behind ya?
Ain’t no point in gettin all dressed up to catch my eye

Katie Mae and the Lubrication, from from Phoenix, in Arizona.

She reckons if she had one ounce of my spark
She’d take this world apart
And she’d take this world apart
And she’d take this world apart

Hank Dogs, from South London

Well, my favorite book of all time is set in Indiana. And now my current favorite bluegrass song is set there too. Some songs just tug at you with wistful memories of your childhood. This is one of them. Excellent.
