"A Rose for Emily" and "Maybe after He's Gone"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

I'm in the midst of writing up a post about more stuff I noticed while recording my annual version of Odessey and Oracle, and in fact-checking stuff against the recordings, I thought I'd discovered that "Maybe after He's Gone" has the same sort of cadential ending as "A Rose for Emily" (a fourth [A and D] to a major third [A and C#]), but I think it's actually a minor third (B and D) to a major third (A and C#).

Still, two sequential songs end with the same two notes.
