Warren Zevon has
always been apart of my life; he was and
still is my mother’s favorite artist.
Zevon’s music has always been different from any other music to me
emotionally. I can listen to his songs
closer to his death when I’m sad, or his funny songs like Lawyers, Guns, and Money when I’m in a good mood. The thing all his
music has in common is that you have to really listen to the words and melody
to appreciate the quality. Some of my
favorites are the ones with orchestral accompaniment because they are so
intricate. I find the fact that most of
his music is in minor keys interesting since most popular music is in majors. Zevon was diagnosed with an inoperable lung
cancer and a year later died. While I
was too young at the time to appreciate it Zevon spent the last year of his
life working on an album.
Enjoy every sandwich.
