What: "Dylan Thomas," by Better Oblivion Community Center (aka Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst), is truly a Song for Our Times.
It also thrives in one of my favorite song configurations -- a hooky melody with devastating lyrics.
Representative lyrics:
These cats are scared and feral
The flag pins on their lapels
The truth is anybody’s guess
These talking heads are saying
"The king is only playing
A game of four-dimensional chess"
How to get it: Watch the video on YouTube.
