I just wanted to say that the band does speak about the south east. And back in the day the word "RED NECK" was a slang for workers who wore red scarves around thier neck in protest for miners treatment. "Red Necks and Red Bandanas: Appalachian Coal Miners and the Coloring of Union Identity, 1912-1936" Ok, so, SUN GIANT says that pecknold says thier relatively meaningless. Yes, ok meanless, he says, but, every good artist has a library of symbols he/she uses that go into the making of their work. Pay attention to the lyrics in the other songs and he does mention the blue ridge mountains ... there is a bit of southeastern history in all this. |
