“The Curse” is a painfully poignant song from the Americana singer-songwriter Josh Ritter’s latest album, “So Runs the World Away.” The song tells the tale of a heart-breaking romance, which is brilliantly paired with the handcrafted creation and vision of marionette-puppeteer extraordinaire Liam Hurley, who is also Josh Ritter’s drummer.
Both the lyrics and doleful music strike a mesmerizing chord that’s movingly evocative of our contemporary world, which is increasingly inhabited by people who are transient, lonely and ever on the search for something. “The Curse” follows the course of a seemingly unlikely love affair between a mummy and a Victorian archaeologist. The progression of their romance is quietly devastating, where the mummy’s curse is revealed to be a poetic parable for the mournfully melancholy realization that love is mortal.
This piece includes a number of colorful illustrations, as well as the very touching animated music video.

Kwaday Dan Ts'inchi means "long ago person found" in the Southern Tutchone language and refers to the remains of the young aboriginal hunter found frozen in a glacier in August 1999. The well-preserved condition of the remains has allowed scientists the rare opportunity to study in detail everything about the ancient man's lifestyle, from the source of clothing he wore, to what he ate and drank in the hours before his death on the glacier.Kwaday Dan Ts'inchi means "long ago person found" in the Southern... more
