@@cframisI sent a message to them, praising the 50 Song Memoir album, never expecting a response. Claudia actually emailed me back to thank me. A class act.
This is easily Stephin Merrit's most affecting song. So heartfelt and accurate in it's observation of the contradictions of grieving and unrequited yearning
Just when I think that I've already heard all the best music ever made , I run across something like this -- Impossibly beautiful, and this version is just amazing. If this video ends up with 10,000 views, 5,000 are me... Thanks so much for posting it, cotafloata!
ethereal! i just need them to go on tour one more time. just do one more show. that's all i need to do before i die is go see the magnetic fields live. that's all.
dead-flowerly, perhaps. Like the best gay writers (Morrissey, Cole Porter, Merritt and, of course, Glenn Danzig :) ), they're too sardonic to be flowery.
"When the clock strikes four, I could sell my soul just
to hear my telephone ring" a master piece!
It's been so long since I have been to a rock and roll concert...Magnetic Fields Sempre! God speed...
His songbook is so deep, and this song should be so much better known. This live version is unmatched.
I chatted with Claudia a few times. You'd never meet a more charming, humble, and beautiful human.
she answered to me an email, giving me links and info, She s the best, not only an angel singing

This band just keeps blowing mind. So much to discover!!!!
So much better than the studio version
I’m glad at least one person filmed this group because there is almost no other coverage....and some of us came to the party late

@1969captainron flowers are nice and so flowers songs, It has nothing to do with being gay I think.
She's sharp or flat or something.
