Elvis Perkins In Dearland - Doomsday (Gold Room Session)

It's so happy and sad at the same time...damn, I gotta get me to New Orleans!

Great performance ! The drummer is a blast !

WOW!!! This song easily vaults onto my permanent all time favorite list. Way to go Elvis & friends!!!

OMG, it's just 4 guys! Been listening to this on my iPod for months - always assumed it was a full orchestra. Bravo!

An astonishingly upbeat song about a very sad topic which, yes, is a New Orleans funereal way of dealing with grief. Brilliant and beautiful.

"I don't let doomsday bother me,
do you let it bother you?

...Not in all my wildest dreams it never once was seen
that doomsday could fall anywhere near a Tuesday

but flight across the skies seein fate before my eyes...


for I don't plan to die
nor should you plan to die"

Brilliant, indeed.
Cheers.

This song is about Sept. 11, isn't it? The Tues. reference... flying across the sky, it ends before my eyes (?)... Tragically, Elvis's mother died in one of the planes. The lyrics and the New Orleans funeral march defy death and terror. Elvis is brilliant, very brilliant.

"And even though you voted that awful man
I'll never refuse your hand"

George W. Bush?

Yes, I think so.

Absolutely!
