My iPod #328: Mercury Rev – Endlessly

Deserter’s Songs” is an album that I have only listened to quite recently. A few months ago, I think. Seeing that it was called one of the best albums of 1998 by a few websites increased my curiosity.

It is a lovely one to listen to. The instrumentation varies from one track to another. One minute you will be listening to three minutes of flutes and twinkling harps, the next you’ll be hearing to raspy saxophones and loud electric guitars.

“Endlessly” is a song that makes use of the lush, woodwind, acoustic atmosphere. I have never really paid attention to the lyrics just because of how damn sweet it sounds. Reminds me of something from a Disney film. I don’t mean that as an insult, but I could really imagine this, “Tonite It Shows” and “Hudson Line” all being sung in a Walt Disney Picture. Like Aladdin or something.
