“To Kill a Mocking Girl” is EP number four by the prolific Texan singer/songwriter [**L.$hamPain**](http://lshampain.tumblr.com/?ref=glamglare.com). She describes the songs as pages from her notebook, set to minimal electronics, pianos and her haunting vocals. My favorite is maybe “Zoe’s on a Freight Train”: it evokes the association of a scene in [“Fried Green Tomatoes”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried%5FGreen%5FTomatoes?ref=glamglare.com), where the protagonists Idgie and Ruth jump on a fright train by night.

Here’s what L. $hamPain says about the song. Listen to it and you surly get the Beatles reference:

> Janis Joplin snarled that “Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose”.  
> Maybe though, nothing left to lose isn’t freedom at all — it’s just another girl on another runaway train. It’s not romantic. It’s not something worthy of a Beatles tune. Hell, it’s not even worthy of a cartoon where the hero comes swaggering up pistol in each hand to save the damsel in distress from her fate on those infamous train tracks.  
> … but maybe you still want him to. 

Like all her work, “To Kill am Mocking Girl” is out on [Bandcamp](https://lshampain.bandcamp.com/album/to-kill-a-mocking-girl-ep?ref=glamglare.com) for free download. You can also listen on [Soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/lshampain/sets/to-kill-a-mocking-girl-ep?ref=glamglare.com).
