Left Behind 2

This is an old, severely rusted van left out in the elements for many a Colorado winter. There is also an old dilapidated house and a few other cars under the snow in the background.

Song of the Day: Andrew Bird - Oh, Sister (Bob Dylan Cover)
Well, I started the month off with a Bob Dylan cover, so it’s only fitting that I finish it with one, too. With Nora O’Connor singing harmony, Andrew Bird brings his impeccable musicianship to a beautiful song and makes it even more memorable than the original. Really, Andrew Bird could add his violin playing and whistling to any pretty song and the results would be spectacular. So it’s no surprise that this is as beautiful as it is.

Well, it’s almost December, and you know what that means: it’s time for the countdown of best albums and songs of the year. Come back for part one on Saturday! But before that, download this:
