The babe lay
in the crib
a-cryin' and cryin'
Footsteps in the hall
were not to be heard
no one rushin'
out of bed
to comfort
and soothe
No, the house
it sat vacant
hushed and hidden
in the middle
of the lane
from the woods
behind the house
came a tabby
She snuck in
wand'rin' the house,
drinking a bit
of milk
from the fridge
upon finding the crib
that tabby,
well, she said,
shush now,
close your eyes
the world will go away,
if but,
for awhile,
just close your eyes

Courtney Barnett - Avant Gardner
Not a ton of music videos feature sporting events. And yet the video for Courtney Barnett's Avant Gardner is one of three that I can think of off the top of my head featuring tennis. The other two being "Giving Up the Gun" by Vampire Weekend and "Calamity Song" by The Decemberists, but that one actually has a variation of tennis from David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest. Anyway, I guess indie bands like tennis?
Avant Gardner is a strange stream of consciousness song that kind of winds around and around, detailing a not so average morning. The dream waves of the guitars and Barnett's mesmerizing mostly spoken word will draw you in. You'll be singing about breathing problems in no time. Hope you enjoy.
