The sorrowful first track from Alison Krauss & Union Station's latest release, "Arcadia," has been stuck in my mind recently. Krauss sings melancholy lyrics effectively, so that's part of why "Looks Like The End Of The Road" has stayed with me. Rhythmically, the tune could segue with "She's Leaving Home" by The Beatles, which gives it additional staying power.
As well-sung and well-played as "...Road" is, I'm trying to will my mind to gravitate toward "Arcadia"'s closing track, "There's A Light Up Ahead." If a tune is going to stay in your mind, I think it's best if it offers at least a glimmer of hope.
