his new brit pop influenced solo album, even the bowie aping cover shot, is really good. this one was supposed to be inspired by suede and i can hear it in the lyrics as it sounds like something off of head music meets coming up. i know people will not give it or him a chance, the first two my chemical albums were great imo, but its so good with echos of the stone roses, morrissey, bowie all over the place. hes a good artist and i appreciate how he grew up and how he coped with living where he did. newark and belleville nj are not easy places to exist especially as a child. he wasnt really allowed out of the house much and so turned to illustration and writing which is very familiar. his grandmother taught him to sing at an early age and he just seems so genuine and imaginative at times. i hope he succeeds because hes talented and trying very hard to make something good and credible, a challenge many struggle to achieve. i think he succeeded here.
the words:
"She waits at windows
Her dreams don't show in color, and she sleeps
For now
But she just waits around
Wishing she could leave, single mothers
In parking lots and wear another girl's evening out
This place lets you down easy
She gets up to buy a drink
I notice why when she walks up
There's something calling her, and she says
That she can change for love
And she explains how long she's waited for
She wanted more
Dead leaves, desperate summers
All ages clubs and metal shutters
To keep you out
While we hang around in factories
Til we need each other
To discount lives in heavy numbers
To keep you down
If I wait around, maybe she
Might come back to say a line
Not sure you know my name, that's fine
But take me with you this time, and she says
That she can change for love
And she explains how long she's waited for
She wanted more
Go, tonight
I might just see you around
It hurts but I understand
You can find another reason not to stay
And while she's walking away, she says
That she can change for love
And she explains how long she's waited for
She wanted more
And as these days go by
They can't change how long we've waited for
I love this more"
people here should give it a try. still sings really really well
