What I found interesting about the way Tom made his school friends is the fact it’s oddly selfish in a way.

I mean, it literally says “Tom believed he was a sensitive kid who would value his friendship to the point where he could get the boy to do anything he wanted.”

like who in the world makes friends like that???

Phil Martin-Before We Go To Paradise

In recent times we've seen a influx of musical artists crossing over into the literally world, from the likes of Simone Felice, Joe Pernice, Willy Vlautin and Steve Earle all writing novels to the likes of Mike Scott (The Waterboys) recording albums heavily inspired by the poetry of yesteryear (in his case Yeats). Phil Martin has now followed in those lofty footsteps on his debut album, Before We Go To Paradise by welding together a collection of Shakespeare, Coleridge and Blake's (among other's) finest sonnets and set them to musicalong with a few originals scattered along the way. Musically Phil sets his aim to quirky, acoustic jazzy folk with a side order of easy listening saxophone, whilst his vocal is something of a happy go lucky croon, that's instantly likeable but perhaps lacks a little depth. Obviously lyrically Before We Go To Paradise is a strong album with Shall We Compare Thee and Kubla Khan being particular highlights for this particular reviewer. Martin's own Open Mic is a charming tale of the struggling musician, which I'm sure every weathered troubadour up and down the country will share affinity, however another original, Careless Love came across as a little too twee for these ears. Before We Go To Paradise is a decent collection of showcasing Phil's love of the written word and worldly musings, without ever really hitting the essential, must have chord. If you like calming folk balladry and light jazzy sax I'm sure you'll find a great deal to enjoy on here but for me this one is best served as background music to a nice meal and a glass of red.

I found a poem that my dad wrote in college

Standing Time

 -

TICK-SWING-TOCK

 -

Casket of moments

Entombed by your chimes

Your echoes momentous

Bemoaned for all times.

 -

SWING – TICK – SWING

 -

Your pallor face

And coldly etched hands

Recounts the ballad

Of every man’s stand.

-

TOCK – SWING – TICK

 -

Closer in weighting

Sensing sands flow

Leaving the pale-

Deferring to go.

 -

SWING – TOCK – swing

 -

Age is a coffin

Closing too fast

On memories not often

Made in our past.

 -

tick – swing – tock

 -

Time sways unfailing

Towards minutes to be

Filled with our breathing

The guillotine swings free

 -

swing –

 -

Reminding us – doleful –

With each subdued tock

Of moments yet buried

In grandfather’s clock.

 –
