2008 : 16 "Librarian" by My Morning Jacket

---

Finding beauty and sexiness in a quiet, alluring librarian? No, this isn't a Whitesnake song. This is a beautiful evocation of the kind of connection that all of us have every now and then, admiring someone from a distance and letting daydreams run wild. My favorite line is one that is only a part of the set-up: Ramble up the stairwell, into the hall of books... Since we got the interweb these hardly get used This almost makes the song a sort of rambling inner dialogue, but it builds into a beautiful love story. The lyrics are a bit more direct than Jim James and company usually go for, but the difference works amazingly well, combined with their atmospheric music. —Jamie Yates Listen: My Morning Jacket >> "Librarian"
