What are you thoughts on the following lyrics of Simon Joyner?
From 2006’s “Beautiful Losers” is the song “Is This How Generous You Are?”
Number 20: http://www.lala.com/#song/360569531075809566
The last verse knocked me out of my chair:
“I asked you to watch over me, you joined the bystanders. I asked you then to catch me, you got out the binoculars. I asked for you mercy, you covered me in feathers and tar.”
What are your thoughts on Joyner’s song? If you don’t like lo-fi indie, I recommend at least reading the song’s lyrics. Surely we can all relate to a level of unrequited love and disappointment. As a master of allusions, Simon Joyner seems to write it better than we feel it.
