An Empty Corner of a Dream

Here's our song of the episode: "An Empty Corner."Meredith mentioned Chris Lambert's podcast "Your Own Backyard."Here's "Are You Listening?" - the song Paul Hobbs wrote about Meredith going away to college...and "I'll Miss You Then," the song he wrote when her brother went off to college. It's a whole genre.Here's the page of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens that features the quote Meredith mis-remembered.We briefly reflected again on "We Were Lucky..."and "Love is Everywhere (Beware)..."and "Hold Me Anyway."(And if you think those links just lead to the songs themselves, they don't! "We Were Lucky" leads to a fan-created extended version of the song, just to troll Mary and Meredith we suspect ;) ; "Love is Everywhere (Beware)" leads to a Nels & Jeff interview about the song; and "Hold Me Anyway leads to the Songkick Live performance in which Jeff mentions frequently ending shows on this song, which feels appropriate to us.)Find us on Instagram for updates.It's kind of like we're the kids leaving home... or are you the kids and we're the parents? Either way. Until next time... remember Wilco Will Love You, always.
