82.
artist:iron & wine
album:the passing afternoon
i feel like I'm cheating by using this "album" in my project, but then i realized that i really cant cheat, because i make the rules. this is a CD from my collection, and that's the basic premise of this whole deal, so its within the spirit of the project and fine to use.
this EP only has three songs on it. "passing afternoon" is a track from the album our endless numbered days, and the other two songs would i guess be considered B-side tracks to the album. "communion cups & someone's coat" is a fan favorite as far as the band's catalog of music goes. i don't know that id say that its one of my favorites, but its by no means a bad song, either. i just have others that i think rank higher.
the other song, "dearest forsaken" really doesn't do anything for me. its not a bad song. its not a great song. it just is a song on an EP. i guess id consider it more background music than anything else. Sam Beam writes incredible lyrics, but aside from a few lines in passing afternoon nothing really grabs me like some of his other songs.
actually, background music is how id describe this EP as a whole. it doesn't do anything to make me stop what I'm doing and pay attention, but i don't mind hearing it, either. it was nice to have playing as i went about doing my laundry and beading safety pins for my next project.
