Song of the Day - Hymn of Breaking Strain

"Hymn to Breaking Strain - Julia Ecklar & Leslie Fish" (Watch on YouTube)

I too, wish sometimes wish I was an inanimate object  /rimshot.

But really, I like the lyrics to this. I think it's because I like oddball symbolism and comparisons, and 'gee, railways have it better than us, because we can predict when they break, and they don't know they break' definitely counts.

That is a good song. Also, I Googled it for the lyrics to find it was originally a poem by Kipling? I learn new things every day :O

I found out about it because of jokes about how many different songs use the tune of 'Battle Hymn of the Republic'.

(There are at least 7. It's a lot.)
