USA, 2002, singer-songwriter / contemporary folk
Anaïs Mitchell – The Song They Sang When Rome Fell: So why did Rome fall? Well, the short answer is: because it didn’t want to stand. Romans forgot the freedom of nakedness as they wrapped themselves in heavier and heavier robes of work and school, strangling them like a slave’s chain. They fell because they had everything to lose.
The brilliant incisiveness of folk.
