These Four Walls, 2006
Written by Paul Westerberg, 1993
I know this song extremely well, having worn out Westerberg's masterpiece of an album 14 Songs, on which it appears, throughout the Nineties. Colvin does a terrific, urgent rendition, bringing a yearning feeling to the cynical yet serene words, more tossed off by Westerberg. "Song of the bird lives in the sky / But the most beautiful by far / Scream of the man who never learned to fly." Her melodic voice over the soft acoustic guitar and rich, mournful dobro (?) fits the lyric well.
