Deep Red Bells

**musical mood preference: Neko Case & her Boyfriends**

Neko Case makes me drool. I just adore all of her albums and especially this song. Her smoky voice and folky style melts me from the inside.

Deep Red Bells is filled with a sense of dread underlying the lyrics, as are most of the tracks on her whole Blacklisted album. Thru the dark and hidden canvas that constitutes the backdrop to the album, Neko's strong and defiant voice constantly punches star-lit holes to dissipate the caliginous Dis.

The lyrics of "Deep" dance and invoke images in the senses as one takes in the magnitude of this red diva's voice. "Where does this mean world cast its cold eye?/ Who's left to suffer long about you?". Blessed be the goddess of punky-folk-country.
