His only son
It’s not the dream he had in mind for you
You came into this world, a vision
Of another time and place
I guess it’s just as well
I couldn’t get on with your old time religion
And there’s no other way to say it
Its so weird these feelings my heart can’t abide
If you’re feeling sad and lonely
Nights sleepless in your bed
The breaking of the heart
Boy, does it make a sound
My only son,
If everything just fell apart, would it be worth saving?
And is it fair that we can’t know just what you were thinking
When you left us here to sit and contemplate the truth
And speaking of that old lost city,
As it sinks down through the sand
Could it break your heart
Or would it change your mind?
As far as indie albums in the 2010's and beyond go, this is one of the most cohesive and emotive albums I've experienced looking back on it and is Jay Som's best album tokyonoir
Polyvinyl is located in Champaign Illinois (one of my former residences), not what you'd think of as a center of musical creativity.
But this album will change your mind. Lots of different genres here, from garage-band stuff to some very polished tracks.
Check it out. You're sure to find something you'll enjoy. SRL
