There are a lot of similarities between Frank Black songs. Great artists always repeat similar themes/images/sounds/textures because they are One person influenced by many seperate and unrelated things. Their roots will always take precedence. David Lynch always seems like David Lynch. Salvador Dali always hints at Salvador Dali. Tennessee Williams always smacks of Tennessee Williams. And Wolfgang Puck always tastes like Wolfgang Puck. And yet all the above listed, including Mr. Thompson, manage or have managed to fantastically assult our senses with a genuine variety of spectrums.
I believe similarities in an artists work should be viewed not as imitation, but as an extension, reinterpretation, or even an exorcism of a new angle of personal perception or influence. It's their stamp...or spirit...and it must thrive and evolve by remaining involved.

Must admit they are both great songs but st. francis dam disaster beats end of miles hands down.

It'd be hard for any song to beat St. Francis, but I don't know that I'd give it hands down to End of Miles. Such great pedal steel work! Still, St. Francis has some terrific piano work and I love that banjo.
Ah, who can choose?

Nicely stated bRIAN.
I never really thought about the similarities between the two songs until now. One thing noticed is how you can interchange the Water and the Wanderer between the two songs. Both are being pulled west by irresistable powers and the end of the journey for both is the Pacific Ocean at the California Shore, the place where they have both naturally and instinctively gravitated to. Very interesting. |

I hate to put end of miles down but in this forum i have seen it mentioned a lot and i have listened to it more than frequently but i would never put it on a hall of fame for franks classics. There is huge praise for it and i love the song but maybe not in this forum but others you always see people asking why frank doesnt play it more at gigs. I think simply because it isnt top drawer, and when i say top drawer im talking cream. I know its amazing but it aint the cream.

I am at this moment eating ice cream. Haagen Dazs Cherry Vanilla to be precise. But it tastes a lot like Dreyers Cherry Vanilla. Has anyone else noticed this similarity?

| Well, yes. There's something similar, but end of miles makes me fly. The lyrics are amazing, and the guitar solo at the end makes me so peacefull...great work. St Francis dam disaster is a great song too..a bit to long for me.. |
