Off the Page and Into the Microphone

From Novels to Notes is a new blog by journalist Johnny Garcia chronicling songs inspired by fiction or poems.

It’s still getting started, but it looks promising: there are already two entries about PJ Harvey, and there are bound to be more once Garcia discovers those lines she cribbed from T. S. Eliot.

What are your favorite songs with literary references?
