Pretty Girl at the Airport by The Avett Brothers (Slow Jam of the Month)
- This song reminds me of “Woman of Heart and Mind” by Joni Mitchell; in both songs the sonic landscape is this solid, constant thing that the vocals float on top of.
- Weirdly enough, this song feels like being in a car that’s driving away from somewhere and watching trees blur by the car window. Or something.
- The vocals and the music work well to amplify the mood of the song and the lyrics.
Wish me luck I know you think I’ll need it
For all the hardest roads we have to walk alone
And you don’t have to tell me that you love me
For all the words I’ve never understood
I know, I know
