Hello, Berni ... and thank you for the week! I'm glad there is an alternative to the idea for the original. (According to my husband, I never learn anything from my experiences, so I doubt very much whether I have ever had an epiphany; time permitting, I will try to come up with something, though!) This song comes from Jeff Mangum, frontman and songwriter for "The Neutral Milk Hotel" and is from their second - and last - studio album "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," released in 1998. The original is loud, fast and "fuzzy". My version is slower, but I have added some "fuzziness" with a background air raid siren, which fits with the anti-war theme of the song. (The song - and, in fact, the whole album - has references to Anne Frank.)
