Jalopy Heart.

Referenced in my earlier post- this is one of the pieces performed by David Wax Museum. One of the lovelier things I've heard in recent recollection. This musician sounds like someone who's felt his share of life, with truly soulful qualities in his voice and a somewhat Dylan-y feel.

Jalopy Heart

What could you want with my jalopy heart
what could you want with my jalopy heart
it's rusty and battered and falling apart
you're probably wasting your time trying to get it to start
my jalopy heart

though I still may know how to love
I still may know how to love
I still may know

what could you want with my rattlesnake skin
what could you want with my rattlesnake skin
I've shed it before and I'll shed it again
be it useless and gray as an old man's chin
my rattlesnake skin

though I still may know how to feel
I still may know how to feel
I still may know

what could you want with my antique music box voice
what could you want with my antique music box voice
it'll play you a song, a faintly audible noise
now a dirge but once a song of rejoice
my antique music box voice

though I still may know how to sing
I still may know how to sing
I still may know

though I still may know how to love
I still may know how to love
I still may know.
