The Song:To make it feel even more authentic, Beck filled out his
Song Reader book with fragments of songs and melodies, as well as fictional album collections and made-up song titles. "My New Gold Harp" is listed as part of
Ye Midnight Stars, a collection of "songs from the afterlife."
While a lot of the song titles sprinkled throughout the book are references to older sheet music/songs, the ones on
Ye Midnight Stars tend to be more jokey phrases, all relating to death, heaven, gospel music, etc.
