Your Source for 'Ff'lo

well, it does end on the tonic, doesn't it? not to quibble. just it may technically resolve in the kind of music theory sense of the melody. but i can allow as how the whole combo, lyrics & all, contains a certain unresolve.

i don't agree, though, that there's no song apart from the recording at hand. the recording/rendition is what it is and how it sounds, but if there weren't a song that isn't tied to that, how could there ever be a cover version of any number? surely you like some versions of a song and not others. seems especially easy to think of this song as a song vs. only a recorded performance cuz it's simple, folky, has guitar, could be transcribed pretty easily, has discernable lyrics, etc.

i mean we could get into semantics, what's a song, what's the unit named thereby, but that seems silly. as does your painting analogy, to tell you the truth.

and also hello, whoever you are.
