lay softly down, dead leaves are blowing all over this town
i drive for miles, i have a job, i am always for sale
i change myself with each new day, i pray to be anyone else
stay safe and sound, it's gone to hell, i am a bird on the shelf
for all that is telling and insightfully bleak
i'm feeling better than i have in weeks
i am like you, in case you can't tell, i keep it all to myself
i stayed awake for days and days, i tried to figure it out
sweeter than honeycomb, i still want to know what you know
mother earth don't bother me, i just want a place to call home
Got this record as a birthday gift from a bandmate and it coincided with the loss of my grandmother and a painful trip east to see to final arrangements. It provided both company and consolation during that difficult journey and thematically, is spot-on for this season of life. Can’t say enough good things about these guys. Creep Church
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
This is just one of those albums that are in the perfect place at the perfect time. If you described it to me, I probably wouldn't listen to it, so just go listen to it. Seriously. You'll be glad you did. Morgan LaVigne
