the reason i love listening to owen is that it makes me think and calm, i mean really really calm. like the whole world stops and im sinking into his guitary song, his voice and particularly his lyric.
this’s a great folk, a folk that im looking for, it is what folk supposed to be.
folk that makes me calm without feeling asleep.
i love this feeling. my heart beating faster and i do not care the surroundings or anything happening right in front of me, just want to hear what he sings about.
i like how he writes. his lyrics always sound simple and honest yet it is so unique just like his singing voice.
mike kinsella is a genius.
okay, so good news here! mike kinsella has recently played live at daytrotter (on mar 25, 2007) which offers free exclusive downloads now and interview
in this live session, there are two rarities and below is my most fave out of all:
02 i woke up today (mp3 courtesy of daytrotter)
– unreleased in the u.s., a japanese bonus track on “i do perceive”
it goes like this..
i woke up today and felt my age for the first time in both my mind and body. now my thoughts are less of fitting in and more of being a better man. and my overbite is getting worst and my whole fucking face hurts.
i woke up today with the whimper not the bang of a schoolboy or a father. and it seems those fifteen pounds i’ve lost since you left were the part of me that you loved most and knew best.
well, i woke up today feeling my age and the sum of everything i should have done and either i just got kicked in the teeth or time has changed me.
