somewhere out in the atmosphere
a full wolf moon when the sky is clear
i'm finally here for the first time in years
the rain poured down for a couple of days
washed away all my blue blooded things
i begged for change, now i wish they'd stay the same
honey wait, you wonderful thing
i've been asleep, waiting for spring to come
i've memorized the celestial sphere
this universe where we drop our fears and run
the wilderness is a passing phase
the plans you make are subject to change
it was familiar once, but now they've rearranged
i've monetized on my chameleon ways
been carried away by the radio waves
i've heard enough and it all sounds the same
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
