Love and the Student

A music friend of mine gave a listen a few months ago to this and said, “the wordless vocal section is my favorite part here.” Which was great — but then I had to point out that it wasn’t actually wordless. Good thing the kick drum was also a fave….

The track by itself is available at soundcloud – or you can listen or get the whole album to date from noisetrade (at the right).

This track feels pretty different from the others to me. Most of my best feedback has come from folks who liked the edgier tracks. I’m curious if this rings a chord with others. Or with the same folks. As always – I love feedback. What do you think?

Also – note the beautiful artwork on this post is available (at great prices) from the artists. The first is by Rebecca Haas, part of a whole series of cool designs over book pages, and is available here. The second is by Nicklas Gustafsson, and is available here. The third is from the Boston Public Library.

As usual, an overview of the album is here, and the lyrics are in the comments.  Not a lot of tracks left to go… See you in a few weeks!

    Love and the Student

    I think I know what I want to be when I grow up.
    They tell me I can’t get paid for this. I’ll be poor and poorer.
    But I don’t need a bank to feed, just for me to be fed.
    So I see what I want to be when I grow up.

    Hopeful

    I can tell you the precise color of my parachute.
    I will jump and I will fall and this is nothing new.
    I’ve no wish to be a child, if this is what it’s like
    I want to be big, strong, free when I grow up…

    Hopeful.
