Tenth track from the 'Sunburned' album, out now via Jaz Records.
lyrics
I think I'm in trouble.
I'm back on cigarettes.
Remembered you're beautiful,
(radiant blue)
but that just made me sad.
(eternally blue)
You said you'd written so many love songs
but you would never fall in love.
And as a joke, that's pretty funny-
until you know too well.
I wanna go back, but I can't.
While I just stood there waiting I was losing what I had.
(My life's work is doggerel, piled high.
I am tired, take pleasure in the most secret joy of the ordinary,
Do not give in to an explosion of heavenly light.
I need the warm dreary days to survive.
I drink the rain.
And my only reality blooms in the construction of cut-up notes
addressed to a nineteen year old protagonist.
The language suites the tale.
I stare out from a screen. )

Just as bad ass as the first Fountain Album... Super solid buildups and soundscapes.. Another great one for experimenting with artwork etc. 9/10 Ky Ren/Aid An

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
