lyrics
Richie got down
And he knew right from the start
Tried to make ends
But he broke his mother’s heart
It’s a load, man
It’s a load that I can’t bear
The soul is many things
And all that shit that you once had
You cannot bear
All that shit that you have left
Is back home at dad’s
You’ve been abused
And I know it’s not your fault
Women are flies
In sweet and bitter salt
Shot up, ransacked, and all you did was live
Get yourself straight
And open up to find yourself a better being
It’s a load, man
It’s a load that I can’t bear
The soul is many things
And all that shit that you once had
You cannot bear
All that shit that you have left
Is back home at dad’s
And he knew right from the start
Tried to make ends
But he broke his mother’s heart
It’s a load, man
It’s a load that I can’t bear
The soul is many things
And all that shit that you once had
You cannot bear
All that shit that you have left
Is back home at dad’s
You’ve been abused
And I know it’s not your fault
Women are flies
In sweet and bitter salt
Shot up, ransacked, and all you did was live
Get yourself straight
And open up to find yourself a better being
It’s a load, man
It’s a load that I can’t bear
The soul is many things
And all that shit that you once had
You cannot bear
All that shit that you have left
Is back home at dad’s

The Ferdy Mayne recommends:
-
Raging in the Dark
by J.R. CarrollSome stripped down, folk country jams. I love J.R.'s vocals, super rough edges, gives me Childer's vibes big time. Really hoping he drops some more full band stuff like "Don't Lose Your Faith".
go to album -
"Nightmare Town" acoustic came up on streaming and I literally could not stop listening to it. Reminds me of some lost 70's-80's country leaning songwriters. The shotgun line is insanely cathartic.
go to album -
We'll Become the Flowers
by Eliza EdensI'm a sucker for anything having a Big Thief vibe. Eliza has such a great voice and "I Needed You" is so well mixed and produced I can't help but wish I could write something like this.
