Best for the Best - Juliana Richer
originally by Josh Ritter

Once I knew a girl in the hard, hard times.
She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes.
Now she’s gone, but when I wear it she crosses my mind,
And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind.

I realized that Illinois was more than I could stand.
They say working’s best cause poverty is hell on a man.
Now I ride a lazy river through the Mississippi fan,
And if the best is for the best then the best can be damned.

I spent a few years on the Queen of Spain.
She was a leaky little boat that went up in flames.
When the boiler blew some people started naming names,
But if the best is for the best I guess the best is to blame.

I spent a few more as the “Cairo Crown”,
A heavyweight wrestler in the Midwest towns.
But, I was lonesome for a girl who could pin me down.
They say the best is for the best but that’s not what I’ve found.

Now I listen to my sweetheart and I listen to my thirst.
I don’t spend time listening to other people’s words;
Sometimes they’re right most times the reverse.
They say the best is for the best when the best’s for the worse.

Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes
Now she’s gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind
And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind

Juliana Daily - Samson (Regina Spektor cover)

more of my stuff here :)

I came across Juliana Richer here on Tumblr after someone had posted her cover of “Wake Up” (originally by Arcade Fire) on the copycats tumblog. Some Googling pointed me toward her YouTube channel, which linked to her tumblog.

To shorten a longer story, I will simply say that I’ve really been enjoying her music for the last few days. It’s good stuff!

Nice cover. It’s the song from the trailer for “Where the Wild Things Are”.
