It Came in the Night
by A Raincoat
Songs category pick for the week of 7/7/08
Made famous (at least famous to film school kids) by Kenneth Anger's use of it in The Rabbit's Moon, It Came in the Night is a catchy but mysterious pop tune. Mysterious because information was hard to come by–even allmusic draws a blank page for the song and the band. The film gives credit to Andy Arthur, yet the song is actually by Arthur's band, A Raincoat. Here is an article about one man's journey to discover that fact.
Seemingly, A Raincoat is a one-hit wonder. Or rather, a one-non-hit, obscure but awesome wonder. But thanks to You Tube, you too can hear the greatness and even watch the Kenneth Anger short film.
