The coarse layer of the map: ten regions of subject matter. Every song is shelved by what its verses are actually about — eruption, home, youth, loneliness, and so on — and a song whose verses pull in two directions is buried in both territories at once.
The fine layer: forty-one concrete images — a set table, a full moon, a pair of bolt cutters — that different songs reach for independently. A thread binds those verses together across artists and decades. Select one to see everyone holding the same rope.
Select a territory from the reliquary, a thread from the loom, or a song from the psalter. The codex will open its page. Arrow keys walk the lists; Tab crosses the transept; Enter turns the page.
