I'm pretty sure nobody will care about this but me, but I was listening to an old Nickel Creek album ("Why Should the Fire Die?") and I had a great time assigning some bitter, cynical songs to Gilmore Girls couples, because I'm me. 😂

Dean/Rory: "Somebody More Like You" (This is a bitter, self-pitying breakup song from Dean's POV. 😆 "I hope you finally find someone, someone that you trust, and give him everything... I hope you meet someone your height, so you can see eye to eye... With someone as Small as you!" This made me laugh inappropriately)

Logan/Rory: "Can't Complain" (This is SOOOO a Logan song! OMG. A whirlwind love affair, but culminating with: "I cheated on her with a friend of mine... There are no days when we don't fight... But remember that I warned her and I'm a guy... So she can't complain." ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Oh no, she can't complain!)

Jess/Rory: "Helena" (Gender bent and a SUPER cynical interpretation of the space between S2 and S3 that I don't REALLY believe, haha, but STILL: "You win! I lose! Is there some way you can leave me in your debt so my girl and I can live to die another day? On that day I won't forget you, Helena, you'll look so sweet, waiting for me, while I wait for her to give me any reason to leave..." 😂😭)

...

And then I'll pick ONE sweet song, for Luke and Lorelai: "Why Should the Fire Die?" (Firstly, it's a WALTZ! But it's so full of wistful longing and I see it as Luke's POV: "I'm not scared of being alone, it's just that I'm happier being confused beside the fire, as long as it's with you." 🥺)

Nickel Creek - House Carpenter

Out of fucking nowhere, this one's been stuck in my head for the last 2 days; I haven't listened to it in years. Lyrics under the cut.

Well met, well met said an old true love Well met, well met said he I've just returned from the salt, salt sea And it's all for the love of thee Come in, come in, my old true love And have a seat by me It's been three-fourths of a long, long year Since together we have been

I can't come in and I can't sit down For I've only a moments time They say you're married to a house carpenter And your heart will never be mine I could have married the kings daughter fair And she would have married me But I have forsaken her crowns of gold And it's all for the love of thee

Now will you forsake your house carpenter And go along with me I'll take you where the grass grows green On the banks of the deep blue sea Then she picked up her darling little babe And kisses she gave it three Saying stay right here, my darling little babe And keep your papa company

They had not been on the ship 2 weeks I'm sure it was not three When the old true love began to weep and to mourn And she wept most bitterly Saying are you weeping for my silver and my gold Saying are you weeping for my store Or are you weeping for your house carpenter Whose face you'll never see no more

A curse, a curse to the sailor she cried A curse, a curse she swore You robbed me of my darling little babe That I shall never see no more They had not been on the ship three weeks I'm sure it was not four When there came a leak on the bottom of the ship And sank them for to rise no more

Billy Strings and Chris Thile Blow Minds on “CBS Saturday Morning”

- Two players, three songs and one duo that should play together more often

Their second time playing together also represented Billy Strings and Chris Thile’s national-television debut as a duo.

And while some music lovers might’ve expected more from their Feb. 3 appearance on “CBS Saturday Morning” that’d been insane. For Strings and Thile, arguably the greatest guitarist and mandolinist their generation has produced, blew not only Sound Bites’ mind - but their own minds as well.

Thile couldn’t help but chuckle when Strings hit on a particularly splendid riff during their up-tempo rendition of “I’ve Been All around this World.” And the laughter continued as the song progressed, causing Strings to call for an extra bar.

The intricate interplay continued on the instrumental “I am a New Pilgrim,” during which they wrapped their instruments into a double helix of their respective musical DNA. This number was subdued in its delivery but Strings and Thile’s facial expressions betrayed the intensity that went in to making this music.

There was one mic - and no amplifier - for the pair to play and sing into as they performed and they offered “Wild Bill Jones” as a vocal duet - their very different voices blending into one glorious sound of joy. Each watched the other for silent cues and responded appropriately as the music cascaded from their brains to their hands to viewers’ ears.

They ended it with a high-five. If only Strings and Thile had been given more time - that’s the one thing sane folks could’ve wish for because the duo deserved the entire broadcast. For even with the sky-high expectations that accompany such a pairing, Strings and Thile exceeded them.
