another lost holiday is gone
another town is burning down, that's all
i know i've been fooled by the weatherman
ice in these veins, who says that you can't complain
on a nice day
politicize the possibilities, it's all the same
so many ways to violate the brain
i don't talk to you that much but i keep you on my mind
pull the weed out by the roots and leave the dead behind
full of hope and privileged luck
i still believe in love
that's cliché, or maybe not
it's the only thing i've got
to keep from nodding off
and that's enough
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
