Hey! Like my tee-shirt? It was designed by the rediculously talented Tom (timelapse19). Get your own:

summer's birth came on autumn's dawn
stayed a few weeks then up and gone
she said, "These seasons' stunts just bring me down
falling apart from their fooling around."

so let the poets dream cliché extremes
from your sky-blue-eyes to the deepest of seas
possession is theirs of those unstable cycles
subjected to their artistic devices

the burden, alone, is not all yours

"Hyperbole and symbolism
find unfounded placement in realism."
"Perhaps, but happiness can be secured
congruent with, yet in spite of the world."

so let the poets dream cliché extremes
from your sky-blue-eyes to the deepest of seas
possession is theirs of those unstable cycles
subjected to their artistic devices

the burden, alone, is not all yours

  • Got your backbeat and the flow of the meandering rhythm

  • lyrics are so important...that is what makes a song and this is a fine performance.

  • ...cool, you're quite the poet!

  • Oh I have a bad conscience now that I didn´t find your song earlier. Josef, I love it very much. You write so poetic. So very good lyrics omg. And I love your guitar style.

    All the best for you my friend!

  • Josef, From the opening strums, I was captivated. These lines blew me away, "so let the poets dream cliché extremes from your sky-blue-eyes to the deepest of seas possession is theirs of those unstable cycles subjected to their artistic devices" You are completely amazing. I was so excited to see a new song from you. faved playlisted Robby
  • i like everything about this is - the singing is awesomely punctuated! you have a really unique songwriting style that is fun to listen to / figure out over and over - 5 stars (but of course) ;-)

  • "so let the poets dream cliché extremes" We need to crank the clichés up to 11 on the Spinal Tap scale... Wool hats? Looks like California could do you good!

  • What is the truth if it's not stretched?

    Unused and tangled-up with all the other little truths!

    5*'s
