About "Coo Coo" by Townes Van Zandt
A cuckoo's call becomes a taunt in Van Zandt's hands. 'Coo Coo' is folk minimalism as psychological trap—a repetitive, almost hypnotic refrain that circles like a bird of prey. Beneath the gentle strum, unease grows: love as madness, the clockwork of obsession ticking toward no escape.
