They self-released their first album, Stars Too Small to Use, which led them to the South by Southwest music festival. After recording their first album in a garage, they signed with Jagjaguwar. Okkervil River continued by releasing two more albums, including concept album Black Sheep Boy, which landed them critical praise. Wikipedia
Midnight, late last week My daughter's diary Didn't know what it might be 'til it was open
I only read one page And then put it away Talk about your big mistakes Hey, Shan, nice going
Photos show no tears And her eyes, all those pretty years gone by I just cannot believe could do that to a child A child A child
Shannon just flew down Four days back in town She sleeps and lies around and then she goes up And then one day, she's gone What should I have done? Joe turns the tv on with all the lights out
Photos on the wall She's my baby She's my baby doll Is she someone I don't know at all? Is she someone I betrayed?
It's a great day in the fall And the radio's singing down the hall And I rise to turn it off cause all I'm seeing is her face Age 8 8
