It was a cold-cave snow-day
Running from a lover-lost
no time for horseplay
with a gut looking like a low-tank
stumble with the stumps like a drunk on a monday
with his mind on his heart
and his heart at the bar
drinking like a fish
strumming the guitar
his girl happened to die the day before
weeks of pain
they finally pulled the cord
no more best friend
no more life
just more drinks
and just more fights
gets kicked out by the end of the night
but it's all nice
He's gonna make this right
so he grabs the wedding ring he gave his wife
put it to air and he held it tight
"Here I come baby, don't you cry"
swallowed the ring
got it stuck in his pipe
at 11:35 he was found dead
full homicide for the love that he kept
they're together in heaven
don't you forget this story when I say I love you to death
"The older I get / The more life starts to make sense / And the less I care." Somehow we have created a musical infrastructure where a brilliant musician like doseone can create his magnum opus and somehow it remains totally unnoticed and ignored in music media. This is a dazzling, complex and ambitious piece of work that demands a lot of time and attention but totally pays off. The kind of work that you can only really make when you're 20+ years in the business and stopped caring too much. Benjamin van Vliet
