Song of the Day: For the Imperiled - Roy Montgomery


For the Imperiled - Roy Montgomery

It's a full moon out today, just as it was when I first heard this song four years ago this November. I wouldn't have remembered that if I hadn't listened to the whole thing in the middle of a field, half freezing in the middle of the night, watching a bank of clouds run parallel to a moon that had a full halo around it in addition to being full and in the middle of the sky. It's a completely absorbing little offering. There's no lyrics, and I doubt there's anything I can add to it through description. All the same, when we have lot's of songs about things, it's kind of nice to have a song that isn't really about anything, but is just mysterious kind of hypnotizing brick of something somebody made.
