Hi.

Tomorrow.

=>

[baydrof]

A song for you. ❤️

Oh well get through this even if I die

There’s really nothing to it

You’re the love of my life

I don’t know what the future holds, but

I’m in it for life

All I want is to grow gray and old, and uh

Die by your side

There ain’t nobody like you

There ain’t body like you

Release: November 8, 2024

Lyrics:

Lonely in this crowd, I sit alone, ohh-oh

One more drink away from heading home, ohh-oh

Ohh-oh-ohh, I could feel the night slipping by

Ohh-oh-ohh, away from me

And, ohh-oh-ohh, she caught my eye through the light

Then she came right up to me

She said, "Oh, hi, nice to meet you

Tonight, maybe we could

Go dance, get up off our feet"

She said, "This life ain't forever

One song, here together

Then let's play it on repeat"

We could dance, we could dance all night

We could dance 'til the morning light

Let's forget about our worries and the wild world outside

She said, "Oh, hi, nice to meet you

Tonight, maybe we could

Go dance, get up off our feet"

We could dance, we could dance all night

She took my hand and led me through the dark, ohh-oh

She said, "Feel the beat, forget that broken heart", ohh-oh

And, ohh-oh-ohh, I can feel the night slipping by

Ohh-oh-ohh, away from me

And, ohh-oh-ohh, I saw the light in her eyes

Glad she came right up to me

We could dance, we could dance all night

She said, "Oh, hi, nice to meet you

Tonight, maybe we could

Go dance, get up off our feet"

She said, "This life ain't forever

One song, here together

Then let's play it on repeat"

We could dance, we could dance all night

We could dance 'til the morning light

Let's forget about our worries and the wild world outside

She said, "Oh, hi, nice to meet you

Tonight, maybe we could

Go dance, get up off our feet"

We could dance, we could dance all night

In the past 72 hours I went from not knowing what Talkshow Boy sounded like to having nearly 200 Talkshow Boy scrobbles on last.fm! Here's a cover of one of their songs that I like a lot from the album Watch As I Perform My Own Tracheotomy, it's mostly just B G#m E F# but the breath control needed is kind of insane so sorry if the jumps between takes are obvious.

Nathaniel Russell — Songs of (Psychic Hotline)

Nathaniel Russell sings with a warbly sincerity, his melodies wandering sleepily through hedges of scraped guitar and soft, murmured background vocals. A sax blows through from time to time, a bass plunks subliminally, bells, woodblocks and tuned drums tap out tonal cadences. A refrain catches Russell’s imagination and he repeats it, quietly, insistently, until the words transform from their literal meaning into sonic blocks of color.

Russell is a printmaker and musician based in Indianapolis whose home-spun transcendentalism links him to out-there folk artists like Michael Hurley and K Records minimalists including Karl Blau and Beat Happening. This is his second album as a solo artist, and while not exactly polished, it has the air of being exactly what it was intended to be.

Consider, for instance, the beautiful, completely unassuming “Let’s Stop, Listen,” made of the simplest, roughest ingredients: a scrape of guitar, a smattering of bells and the talismanic repetition “Stop, let’s listen to them sing.” Russell croons this by himself for a bit, then picks up extra sustenance from female voice (not credited by likely producer Amelia Meath). Now a saxophone (that’s Matt Douglas) stirs up the air, breathy and sinuous. A glockenspiel or something similar plinks and plunks in the background. The song is simple in the way a shaker chair is simple: 100% of what it needs is there, along with 0% of what it doesn’t.

Or take the equally charming “Wonderful to Be in Love,” which describes, in detail, the act of lying in tall grass watching the sun hit it. The mood is indolent and utterly content, and you might find yourself suppressing a yawn as Russell sings about sunshine and vegetation and romantic bliss. But it also links to something nearly mystical, this song, some life force that runs through nature and the world and even us, if we only slow down enough to feel it.  

These songs feel like parables, earthy enough on a literal level, but vibrating with hidden spiritual matter. “Wish I Was Born an Animal” toys with reincarnation and pantheism and love in the multi-verse, in short, vivid spates of verse. “Wish I was born an animal, you were born a bird,” he poses, “Fly higher than the trees, swimming with the fishes, fly higher than my long lost friends ever did go.” And finally, near the end, “I found a picture in the pocket of a coat I hadn’t worn in a year, it felt good just to listen, just to look, just to be alive, just to be on the breathing, reeling of the world.”  

Songs of is a very slow burner, an album that sounds like nothing the first time you put it on, but gradually takes on weight and meaning and resonance as you repeat.  Give it a little time, and it will bloom.

Lyrics:

I used to be a real level headed guy

I was clinically sane until you caught my eye

Now I day dream about you

I didn't know I had a speech impediment

My tongue gets twisted on this sentiment

Don't want to be without you

As time goes by the worse it gets

And I'm climbing the walls inside this cuckoo's nest

I think that I have lost my mind

One day I'm high, one day I'm blue

But when you're by my side I feel electrified

And I wonder if I'm crazy

Or just crazy for you

We've been here together now for many years

Been through a lot of blood, sweat, and tears

It would all be sad without you

I wake up on a Sunday with you next to me

I can't believe my heart still skipping beats

It's nothing bad about you

(I'm just still mad about you)

I think that I have lost my mind

One day I'm high, one day I'm blue

But when you're by my side I feel electrified

And I wonder if I'm crazy

Or just crazy for you

I'm still wondering if I'm maybe just crazy

Or just crazy for you, baby

I'm still wondering if I'm maybe just crazy (crazy)

As time goes by, the better it gets

And I love living with you in a cuckoo's nest

Songwriter: Martin Gallop

I think that I have lost my mind

One day I'm high, one day I'm blue

But when you're by my side I feel electrified

And I wonder if I'm crazy

Or just crazy for you
