This song immediately puts me in mind of the end of the evening at a summer event, shoes long ago kicked off, slow dancing with the one you know you are going home with, cheeks flushed, laughter and glasses clinking as background and wistful promise....
PART 2 Walk until my knees get weak My eyes, they stare Sunken, tangled in my hair They comb the street Spare a piece of something deep For me to share If it's something I can wear It's yours to keep There are some who will always let you down There are people who will chain your feet to the ground White picket castles were built to fall down This old sunken vessel is where I sleep It's not worth a nickel, but it pays my keep Where's your White Picket Castle but where you seat yourself now?
PART 1 I have all my things away In here, with me I can get them when I need But not today What's the use in trying to stay Inside the seams Where you sticked your hopes and dreams Back in the day There are some who will always let you down There are people who will chain your feet to the ground White picket castles were built to fall down This old sunken vessel is where I sleep It's not worth a nickel, but it pays my keep Where's your white picket castle, but where you seat yourself now?
You might have to just email Theo Katzman himself! I don't think there is very much music/lyrics of his online yet. The world eagerly awaits the production of more music from this gifted human being.
I was telling my friend about my crush on Theo, and she was like, "Okay, show me a video." So I showed her this, and she was like, "He makes a lot of weird faces, and he's like, slow-humping his guitar...." And then he started singing, and she understood where I was coming from. =) I just adore this song. SO much love.
oh man, I love this. this is the type of music that is just so true...and pure, and just....wow....amazing :) I just close my eyes listening to this and smile, and just groove to it :) It is so soulful :) This is true art, true music! LOVE! Thank you Darren for sending me here. I now know where Darren gets some of his inspiration, cuz he's got this true soul too :) <3
i mjust admit that as soon as i saw these guys i was like "where the heck did Darren bring me? -____-" saying i was pleasantly surprised is the understatement of the century. this song is AMAAAZZZZZZINGGGG. i must own it. WHERE CAN I FIND THIS?!?!?!
this is probably one of new my favorite songs. i have been listening to it on repeat for the past hour. absolutely amazing. thank you darren for sharing this.
I hate to say that I judged a book by it's cover @ 1st...& then just sat here in awe w/ my jaw dropped--oh.my.gosh. INCREDIBLE voice & absolutely amazing song!!! & the scatting totally made my day ;) hahaha Anyway, you've got a new fan right here! -Katie
@nicknagurka Awesome sound. Care to share more info? Mics, pre's, converters etc.. Is it two room, one on drums, one on vocal and one on the guitar or what?
@kevaso Thanks! IIRC - Cascade Fathead on gtr, stereo rooms (naiant x-m), shure beta 87A on vocals, DI rhodes, KEL HM7u kit mic...slammed down to Ampex 407 on an Otari MX5050. Conversion/Pres were a firepod. Cheers!
Theo Katzman will be playing at the 2011 Michigan Roots Jamboree in Ypsilanti! Come see him be amazing on Aug. 5 and 6 in Riverside Park. Tickets and full lineup available at Rootsjamboree . com!
(count' from below) I've been involved in music my whole life, traveled some of the globe, played with all ppl and types of music. I tell ya this is what we all search for. That amazing sound that inexplicably reaches out and fills any emptiness. Thank you and both bless you/curs you. Also you've awoken more than my saudade of music.
Witness world! A true raising of the bar! No longer can my own decerning guide me well enough. I must in some part compare it to my findings today.
I could write a book here. I would fail in trying to express all the joy, fear, love, loneliness, anger, angst and intense solace brought on by this tremendous sound. I've in curred this overwhelming spectrum of emotions only when life altering moments forked the road. I can not say enough. Hearing this work of art nearly folded my soul and coaxed tears from my eyes. I know it must sound like i am completely lushing. I've been involved in music my whole life, traveled the world, played with all
Cool song! I like that you really get into it with feeling. Starts off very John Mayer-ish, but soon takes on an identity of it's own. Love the phrasing of the singing! Nice voice to!
Oops. Didn't mean to remove my comment! THEO, thank you for this video! Ever since the Ark show I've been pining for this song. I'm going to share this with every soul I come in contact with.
This version is SO much better than the album version, I wonder why they swapped guitars, just made it worse!
