Is this actually about Tennessee? Yes and no. But it’s a f-ing incredible song.

“We’re off the the land of club soda unbridled
We’re off the the land of hot middle-aged women
Off to the land whose blood runeth orange”

Great song, I love David Berman. “We’re gonna live in Nashville and I’ll make a career out of writing sad songs and gettin’ paid by the tear.”

David Berman might be my favorite songwriter. Top 5 for sure. I was absolutely heartbroken when he passed

Agreed, very sad, and he is also one of my alltime favorite writers. So much great work with the Silver Jews. And the Purple Mountains album is also fantastic. Definitely will be missed.

You know, there’s nothing really in the lyrics for this one about Tennessee. But today, it feels weirdly appropriate
