Musical inspiration

Sometimes I hear a song and think "that is SO John Sheppard." I don't think I'm alone in this?

This song (http://www.mediafire.com/?p16usob852tdgcq) by Josh Ritter isn't all John--it reminds me of some of the reasons I love Atlantis and everyone on it best AND it fits this week's prompt really well (I think!).

"If there's a book of jubilations/ We'll have to write it for ourselves" is just SO SO SO SGA to me. It's a very "we have to write our own story, if we want one that doesn't suck" which, of course, it also incredibly fandom. I <3 that sentiment entirely.

And then using the "illuminate" definition of limn, there's "So if you got a light, hold it high for me" and really, the whole song is about that contrast between light and dark and agency and helplessness.

Ok, enough rambling from me. Anyone else inspired by a particular lyric or the feel of a song or artist?
