Take a load off Annie

·1 min

Exegesis of one of my favourite songs, The Band’s “The Weight”, complete with Buñuel references. Ah, enlightenment.

Lyrics to “The Weight”. And yes, it is “Fanny”, not “Annie”, in the chorus.

Edit: actually, apparently the Fanny/Annie thing is a topic of much debate. Dagnabit, and I thought I had clarity. There’s some metanalysis going on, but in which direction?
