The last verse of Senses Fail’s “Miles to Go” (2022) is the final stanza from “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Whoever came up with that idea doesn’t know how poetry works. If you think any part of Robert Frost’s poem can exist in a vacuum, isolated from the whole, you’re a philistine.

One more then I will go, promise
This Ani Difranco track is one of her spoken word poems. It also opens with the lines:
"Us people are just poems
We're 90% metaphor"CW: 9/11 and everything that came after and a whole lot of feelings
The first time I heard this I was at my first Ani Difranco show and I don't think it had even been a year since the 9/11 attacks, and this just hit me like a ton of bricks

A bit late for #JukeboxFridayNight #PoetryInMusic, but I’ve just remembered this gem from, of all people, The Stranglers in the song Ugly on their first album Rattus Norvegicus
I Could Have
Read A Poem Called
Ozymandias
To Her Instead
I Lived For The Moment
It Was A Futile
Gesture Anyway
I Was Here
And She Was Here
And Being Broad
Of Minds And Hips
We Did The Only Thing Possible -
There She Goes, My Beautiful World - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
(ETA: This one's a bit meta for the theme? 😅 )

#PoetryInMusicCall me weird but I always admired the lyrics in this one which are poetry despite the typical Residents weirdness... (Betty's Body by The Residents)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVuu5_Gk3nc&t=8I see her every morning
And watch her fingers forming
Shapes that are as graceful
As a baby's face full
Of hope until it turns to
A neediness that burns through
Your heart like it was butter
In the mouth of someone's mother -

@Kay Always liked the song! But you also reminded me of the album Maya Angelou did with Ashford and Simpson.
A couple of highlights from the album, which I liked quite a bit at the time:
Ashford & Simpson with Maya Angelou: Been Found (1996)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj3C-U_rNCEAshford & Simpson with Maya Angelou: What If (1996)

It's all about #PoetryInMusic for
#JukeboxFridayNight - songs or music inspired by poems or songs that feel poetic."First thing we'd climb a tree
And maybe then we'd talk
Or sit silently
And listen to our thoughts
With illusions of someday
Cast in a golden light
No dress rehearsal
This is our life."
