Earworm of the Day: Lucinda Williams - Copenhagen


I wasn't entirely fair when I reviewed Blessed when it was released back in the spring. It's low-key charm actually does reveal itself through multiple listens, which sounds like a complete rock writer cliche, but it happens to be true this time. "Copenhagen," Lu's first official video, a tribute to her long-time manager who died unexpectedly in 2007, as directed by Dave Willis, co-creator of Cartoon Network's Squidbillies:
"We had that night off so we were getting ready to go out and get some dinner and we walked down from the hotel to this little place and the snow was coming down," she says. "It was all very literal of the song. It’s the combination of the news of his death and being so far away over there." (source)
