Visit wildcreatures.nekocase.com for an expanded presentation of ‘Wild Creatures’ with new artwork, essays and track-by-track commentary celebrating Neko's two decades of solo work. See an excerpt from Dan Bejar below.
Neko’s approach to arrangements and ambience is equal parts melodic and jarring, and I'm always surprised by the turns they take. It is fearless music. It is urgent art, maybe the most urgent body of songs of the last 20 years. That's a bold statement, but she's in the running. We make a mess of ourselves, and others, and the earth, and Neko sings these incredibly eloquent odes to that fact.

LYRICS
What?
Stars can't fight city lights
They've turned their backs on us
It's true today, I saw it from the plane
Aeroplanes were never built to fly
Down down down down
Don't look down
Don't look now
Crosshairs of our shadow trace the dam
Told that there were people trapped alive
Boulder City looks like coals in the fire
Cabin's perched by satellites
And now it's flying down
We've got a lady pilot
She's not afraid to die
It's true today, I saw it from the plane
We've almost finished reeling in the sky
Power lines once laced the heavens
Pima County looks like coals in the fire

A very wise friend of mine suggested I give Neko Case a listen. I did and liked what I heard. I have been working on a writing project and one of the essays is about Amelia Earhart. So when I saw the 'Lady Pilot' title my ears perked for a moment. I wasn't surprised it had nothing to do with AE really, but oh what a beautiful song . .. .

Neko had a Lady Pilot T-shirt for sale a zillion years ago. I want one still.........

[@tomascalvo8]

I love this song.

I’ve always loved and been haunted by the lyric and delivery thereof: “Power lines……..Once laced the heavens.”
