tracks you have played on repeat for like an hour

perhaps worth noting this song originally came to me in Will Oldham’s Idea and Deed at the end of Joya, where “both sides the Tweed” becomes a more philosophical exhortation to civic unity and achievement.

There is a third, entirely fictitious, version of this song - a figment of some misreading or misprision of mine: Berwickshire Tweed - where the same civic unity and liberty - is created through the industry of the weaving of tweed wool. in berwick. as if it were some sort of material expression of that conversion from personal liberty to civic emancipation, that’s the theme of the song.
