Camper Van Beethoven - June

Camper Van Beethoven- a band a know little about at the moment, yet I'm looking forward to getting to know in the future. They're one of those bands whose name you hear pop up every one in a while (especially when a reviewer is seeming to look for hipster points by comparing a band's sound to one decades earlier) but you don't hear them being talked about extensively. My introduction to them was a little strange, finding an odd cassette of their album Key Lime Pie at a thrift store for $0.50. It's not the street version, nor a promo copy. I sent an email about it to CVB's manager but have yet to receive a response. All I can tell is it's the property of Virgin Records. I still need to listen to it in its entirety. College rock with a violin and mandolin. Sounds cool enough. Continuing with Summer songs, here's "June."

Camper Van Beethoven - June

"Are you weary of the lengthening days?
Do you secretly wish for November's rain?
And the harvest moon to reign in the sky (now that it's June)
There is nothing in this world more bitter than Spring

Now I wrote you this letter
Because the clothes were hung on the line
And the crows flew out of the field
And up into the sky

I'm lying here in the station
Stretching out on the tracks
For all the possible places that I might arrive

There is nothing in this world more bitter than love
In all those long days of June
Bring me the long, brown grass now that it's dry
There is nothing in this world more bitter than Spring"
