Fourth track on 'Sunburned' album, out now via Jaz Records.
lyrics
Remember when I was a door to door salesman,
and you were a restless woman?
I was covered in a sparkling kind of rust
and soon I had sold you a pretty speck of dust-
and of course I had done you harm.
We ranged through the nights and the holes in the wall,
and though I always wanted you to stay,
I never blamed you for abandoning me.
But through each smoky back lane I chased your ashen name,
until I knew it was true,
you were bright and new.
Away, gone bright and new.
Remember when I was a hansome young singer,
and you were a dazzling bartender?
I could make old songs seem new
and there was something in the tune that just had to be the truth-
and of course I had done you harm.
We ranged throught the nights and the holes in the wall,
and though I always wanted you to stay,
I never blamed you for abandoning me.
But through each smoky back lane I chased your ashen name,
until I knew it was true,
you were bright and new.
Away, gone bright and new.

Truly oddball pop from Sharif Ali combines smooth synths, groovy electric piano, and Karoke-style crooning into a strangely catchy whole. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 5, 2020
