Mark Kozelek - Third And Seneca, Giske 31/07/2010

Mark Kozelek - Third And Seneca. Live @ Sommerfesten, Giske, 31 July 2010

In my room at Third and Seneca
See the pigeons peck on tar rooftops
Homeless on the corners, they carouse
Ferries float out in the Puget Sound

Scenesters with their beards and tennis shoes
Skinny girls and pudgy ugly dudes
Lift their amplifiers from the ditches
Sullen doormen, brooding barroom witches

Seattle black, Alaska blue
Oregon grey, raincloud Vancouver
Dead-end Denver, drowsy Idaho
Just dreams away from your love, San Francisco

In my room at Laurel and Beverly
Your mind blossoms, mine is withering
I'm retiring, you're aspiring
You're dream-chasing, I'm only escaping

Blood orange LA, blood red Arizona
Lonestar Santa Fe, lone palm La Pomona
Old soul San Antonio, dry grass of El Paso
Lifetimes away from your love, I know

From my view at 32nd Street
Winter throws its snow down heavily
Empty halls of friends who've come and gone
I'm awoken, rushed, and dragged along

New York, New York, New Haven, Hoboken
The skylines appear spinning past in fast motion
The words we shared dissolved as they're spoken
All the worlds away from my love

Being a "working" musician is such a unforgiving,exhausting trudge through the bulls*#t. This man is a musical juggernaut. He has just created a stone cold MASTERPIECE (AFP). No one cares. Harsh,dark world. Is there one critic who can get behind this guy? I owned & operated a record store for 10yrs (when they existed) I have listened to everything you could imagine (many times over) This man's music is golden purity, it is "the reason" amongst a universe of gibberish. Thank you.

@BleakColours if i was there i wouldnt have said 1 word.

[BleakColours]

I don't understand... what are you people judging this audiences mood on?

just because they aren't standing face foward in solemn silence doesn't mean they don't enjoy his music..

[TheRetroZombie]

god what kind of crowd is that?

[tabber87]

This performance would be so much better without an "audience".
