Records make you think of people. In this case a friend I miss and will always miss. Listening to this makes me feel as if he's in the room with me. Listening to this with me. We went to see Buffalo Tom together in Cologne, I was heartbroken at the time. Just as later I was heartbroken when my friend passed. The heart heals. It's a remarkable organ. I used to go for the bassists songs rather than the guitarists sometimes. They were unashamedly soppy.. Now I've learned not to have favourites.
Records can be short stories. .If constructed artfully they fuse to become unified novels of coherent expression. As Bakhtin says novels express a multitude of voices struggling for attention and clarity. Let It All Come Down is lonely occasionally. But rises to and with the sun ultimately.
