Lord send down a heavenly rain
Pixels bleeding in my brain
Silver sliver in the sky
I’m in love with you and I don’t know why
The well’s been dry since 2015
Baptize me in a digital stream
You gotta go where there’s work that pays
Digital souls in digital praise
Now I take small steps like you told me to
But I don’t know what I’m gonna do
I couldn’t change what people say
So I went and gave it all away
33rd west is the Creek County line
I got a grass fire going in the back of my mind
Kicking up smoke, kicking up tears
Kicking up joy, kicking up fear
There’s a world of beauty, there’s a world of shit
There’s a world at the end of my fingertip
A digital balm for an analog bruise
Which world do I choose?
Bravo to Jason. He swung for the fences and knocked it out of the park. What a gift of an album. There’s 7-8 songs here that are simply stunning. “Wind Behind the Rain” saves the best for last, allegedy written for his brother’s wedding, a fun and easy one to learn on guitar with fantastic imagery (chords, capo if you like: verse G-D-Em-C; chorus Am-C-G-D). conwheezy
Saw him and the 400 Unit ( where else) in Stockholm. We let him go home.
Is this man a different class?
He went to a different bloody school.
Never written or covered a bad track.
With my arm twisted up, my back I would choose as the outstanding track -
Midnight Train to Georgia
ps
All the rest are fantastic!!! tevenjohn
