My favourite songwriter ever since I heard Lifted in Grade 9.
The music has grown with me and whenever I feel all meh about music, I put him on, and it all comes rushing back to me.
Blots out the whole world, or illuminates, according to my mood and preference...
I don't wanna TL;DR it.
Love him, or hate him? Why?
My favourites:
I [believed] that lovers should be chained together
And thrown into a fire with their songs and letters
And left there to burn
Left there to burn in their arrogance...
Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
And layed entwined together on a bed of clover
And left there to sleep
Left there to dream of their happiness
"Here's a goddam song for all you goddam people."
I got a letter from the army
So I think that I'll enlist
Now, I'm not brave or proud or nothin'
I just want to kill something!
Too bad nowadays you just point-and-click
Swing low, satellite, hot-white chariot
Daniel Johnson cover! Better than original. All my friends were vampires...
