Ryan Adams's song Life is Beautiful reminds me of Walt Whitman's poem I Hear America Singing. Shades of 9th grade lit... but really! Something about the way the drummer makes the cymbals sound like a hammer on steel... It's a beautiful song. You'd have to listen to it to get the idea, but I couldn't find a readily-accessible audio file on short notice. iTunes it. You'll like it.
Side note: Am intrigued to discover that Whitman was apparently a notorious homosexual. The things they didn't talk about in public schools, circa 1996. Damn.
