| Neko Case – Deep Red Bells Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Like a number of people posting I grew up in NW Washington age 2-6 and then 12-27. While I didn't "live in fear" I definitely had an acute awareness of the dangers. Are there really more serial killers here, historically, than elsewhere? It does seem so. There is an eerie grandeur to this region as I'm sure many people who have spent a long time in one spot can tell you. And the women killed by serial killers here over the years have certainly become a part of the web of stories that form the spirit of a place, of this place. Neko Case, while singing and writing songs universally amazing, has always brought me back at some point to the spirit of this region that I love so well and yet which has a strange and dark side... this song is such a heartbreaking, chilling piece of music and there could be no better tribute to those mostly-anonymous lives lost. I love what the previous poster said about the details incorporating a modest and innocent childhood. |
