Damien Jurado - Medication

Medication
Pre-dawn may jump the gun on the song of the day, but I'm already two hours into listening for the day.  If something outshines this song, I'll call it a tie.

This song led me to purchase everything Damien Jurado has ever recorded.  As a free promo that we wouldn't buy at the used shop I worked at in 2001, this album is one of my favorites that I never paid for.

There are so many chilling points in this song that resonate.  I always think of a small town with nothing but bars for a main street, a gas station, a grocery store, and dirt roads when I hear this song.  The first and last lines bookend each other so well.

"It just so happens I have many concerns."
