Last night is the first time I’d seen Dan on one of his side projects. Wish I’d listened to him sooner. His songs on the Trio albums always stood out for me.
There is no denying his writing prowess...............................
“See a long time ago I didn't care so much I kinda hated myself so much, I watched my head just fly away Out to a place where the sun doesn't shine so much But I loved my bed so much 'Cause while I'd sleep I'd seem okay I'd almost seem okay And I lost my life on the first try But you found it miles down the line, A swollen face with all these names And then you kissed the taste back into my tongue Sucked the smoke out of my lungs And then we slept for days and days Now from this oil can Somehow, there grows an orchid And all your leaves were born in ashes They will die in the sunlight Die in the sunlight Well a long time ago I didn't care too much But I love to drink so much, I let my heart just float away Out to a place where the songs they don't mean so much I could not feel your touch, Could not feel anything but pain Now from this oil can Somehow, there grows an orchid And all your leaves were born in ashes They will die in the sunlight Die in the sunlight”
