Cover art for Heron Blue lyrics by Sun Kil Moon

My first thoughts when i first heard the song were reminiscent of coal mines in SE KY. I imagined a girl who died in a flood of coal slurry. There is a mine in McCreary co KY called Blue Heron. The flood, God's black tears” left a blue black residue on everything when it receded. The music is also has a sad Appalachian feel to it.
