Metal Heart

Posted almost 6 years ago
This song resides in a sad part of my life having to do with one of my failed attempts at a relationship. Everytime I listen to it I am reminded of things falling apart with a certain someone. For some odd reason though, as the years have gone by, I now find comfort in this song. I don't think it's one of those "misery loves company" situations, but rather that I find solace in the fact that a such beautiful song holds so many memories and meaning in my life. On a brighter note, I had the pleasure of experiencing an intimate performance by Cat Power in a small, basement club several years ago. I must say that Chan Marshall reminds me a bit of Tom Waits in her delivery and the famous Doors concert where Jim Morrison sung the entire song with his back to the audience. The only downside was that the audience was almost as loud as the performance. Regardless, it was quite an enjoyable event.

  2. Samuel says Moon Pix is my personal favorite, but it was also my first album of theirs and I have played it many, many times. The Covers album is pretty good, and more accessible to people who aren't familiar with their work and perhaps a bit turned off by their style. The other albums I have are Dear Sir and What Would The Community Think. I personally prefer What Would The Community Think, although Dear Sir has a deeper and fuller sound to the entire album.
