Leave go my golden arm

Another simple song. I feel like the music that I've started listening to is extremely simple in the composition with a far more complex lyrical style. Heavy on the lyrical value and light on the base. More of a Bob Dylan type of song (not that his music wasn't amazing).

The song is "Put A Penny In The Slot" by Fionn Regan. The song is characterized by a punchy guitar with a very simple melody. Regan's voice ends up being fairly dry and emotionless, but with a playful lyrical tone. The story takes you on this little journey that leads you through the song. Apparently the song is a lyrical allusion to the later years of the Depression through the 1949 book "The Man With The Golden Arm." I don't really know that much about it so I won't pretend. Enjoy the song.
