I'm blogger #2 for the Circle of Music.
I'll probably talk about a lot of music that no one who reads this blog will have ever heard of. This review is no different but I hope that those who read this will begin to like this band. I'm going to talk about a song called Civil Twilight by the Winnipeg band: The Weakerthans.
The opening line of this song: "My confusion corner commuters are cursing the cold away" talks about an intersection in Winnipeg that is known as "Confusion Corner" which actually is very confusing. I think that the imagery in this song is great and it feels like you are right in the bus that this song talks about. Many Weakerthans songs are really more like a story put to music and this is one of my favourites. In the "story" a bus driver has to go on the same route around the city, every day, and he has to pass by this house that something bad happened to him in every hour. But I wont give too much away.
This is a great song by a great band. To learn more about The Weakerthans go to their website.
