Taro (12:41)

Cover of iTunes Session

From iTunes Session

Gerda Taro was a war photojournalist in the late 40’s/early 50’s. She died in her line of work when a tank collided into the side of a car she was riding on. The other important name in this song was Gerda’s romantic interest, and colleague, Robert Capa. During the First Indochina War, Capa retreated from his Jeep in a hostile war zone to take pictures. He stepped on a landmine however, which blew apart his left leg. He was taken to a medical station where he died with his camera in his hand.

    Shit, i've been to lots of gigs this year and listened to lots of new stuff, but this is my fav song so far, and will be difficult to top. Not only the melody, the lyrics and the story behind it. Awesome.

    Being a photographer, I recognized the backstory instantly and this song makes me love this band just that much more. I didn't even know it was possible.
