“It always kind of rolls off the tongue. It certainly fits in the songs, I think it’s a plaintive word. I imagine, what would a cowboy say to a longhorn?”
– Songwriter Josh Ritter, on the word "darling," in an interview with Paste Magazine.
(His new EP is called "Bringing in the Darlings," because each song on the recording features that word. And the fact that when he thinks of love songs, he thinks of cattle, is another reason I love this man's lovely songwriting and quirky mind!)
