Hey there don't you know
We're all here and no-one's talking
Shaking like a leaf your arms they fall across my body
Brother I love you now but you were spoiled when we were growing
There's a heart that beats, but you know you don't show it now
Show it now
Show it now

There's a man stood over there
says that you still owe him money
Don't come that way with me
He's seen you, he's seen you drinking

The blues they may run the game
But you still take this darkness with you
Holding me to you
and they don't see no air between us
Holding me to you
And brother they don't see no difference, no
I'm not like you
I'm not like you

Hey there son the lies are going away
All the darkness roll with you
Hey there son, don't you know
You know my life it is tied to you
You know my life it is tied to you
You know my life it is tied to you
You know my life it is tied to you

Terrific tune: #8. The owl makes me think of Magnolia Electric Co. Jason Molina another soul lost too young.

It would sure be nice if there was someone besides amazon to send my money to for a copy of  this music.

Simply Neil Halstead, to my ear.

I disagree.  I think it's nicely done - the song is minimal so it doesn't need fat chords, though I would concede that it could have been selectively edited so that it was less present.

Agreed.

While admittedly there has been many more years to lose interest in the Nick Drake albums, I find myself still frequently going back to Neil Halstead's albums. From solo to Slowdive to Mojave3, Neil covers a lot of ground.

You mean the mood of rejoicing that Obummer is finally out of office and we can get around to fixing his screwups?  I guess I don't hear that in this song.

Bill, you are nailing it for the mood of the country right now.  Great radio:  programming smartly for those who are listening while saying nothing overt for those who are just playing the station without listening.

I've uploaded a few KJP tracks in the past, all rejected, unfortunately :-(
Loving this, for the same reasons as the better KJP choices, and Nick Drake of course - a very similar feel (which to achieve successfully, takes some real skill).

so melancholy....feeling the death of Keith Emerson deeply now.

thinking back to the several ELP concerts I went to and dragged my little sister along and at the end we walked down close to the stage hoping for a glimpse of the guys...    life sure is bittersweet.

The more I hear this, the more I can appreciate it, and the more it all sinks in; truly a deep, sad song, and it's a subject I can relate to. I like all of Neil H's work on RP.

{#Biggrin} I know it might sound nit-picky. Still, at some parts it sounds so much off that I can't help it grabbing my attention. In a bad way.

This album was made during and after Neil and his wife separating so many of the songs touch on that. Loss, death, anger so if you listen to it in that context, it makes more sense.

I personally think it's his best album yet, a true masterpiece. His voice has been given loads of space, the production (recorded in a school hall in just two days) is wonderful and his guitar playing (namely on Tied to You) is staggering.
 
Thanks.  I will keep listening.  I actually just realized I don't yet have his last one, I have the one before that, his first one, Sleeping on Roads, which is excellent.
