Stone Gossard: "Anchors" (Bayleaf 2001)

Another Baylef song, actually my favorite track of the album.
Stone Gossard "Bayleaf" solo album (2001). This work shows Stones´s grow up as a composer and musician
The hopeless immortal's beginning to fade
Wrestled down with anchors, impervious chains
The ocean's electric reduced to a buzz
The pills turn the popper, he probably would
The standoff mechanic of cognisance, sighs
Mulls brooding through the alleyway, a harbinger's night
He pulled the remains, and teeth from the tree
When he sat down in memphis, he bound it on a hill
How to take it all in stride, win your soul and mind the light
How to live around the storm, wind and pressures to befall
Here's a question you might need to ask
What's self destruction and how can we last?

Love this album, but it took a while to get used to it. On 1st listen I think the only song I really liked was Pigeon. I got it the day it came out, which you may remember was September 11th 2001. I woke up and went to the record store to pick it up without turning on the TV, it wasn't until I was checking out and the guy at the counter was watching it on TV that I found out what had happened. Needless to say I wasn't as excited to listen after that. Bad day to have your album drop.

Wow, sounds really good

Stone's album was OK. Just OK. Obviously an experienced musician, but the material lacked oomph.
