i can't get enough of Basket right now. I've always loved it but I'm appreciating it like I've never appreciated any piece of music before now. it's strange how strongly I feel about the song. honestly these might be my favourite lyrics ever (and the way he sings them oh man):
we are old and our son
took the dog away and fair enough
i guess we're tired all the time...
all the time...
and you know dogs they need ample time outside
so i'll stay but i'm telling you i don't --
i don't want to stay
so i'll brace myself against the wall and hope to god that i don't fall
my bones are worn my hip won't hold
i used to be so young how did i get so old?
won't you take this cane and hold my hand
you're holding on to all i have:
just a basket full of memories and i am losing more each day it seems
but if i can make it to the street i'll steal a car, or a bike, whatever there is to steal
and it might get cold i just don't care, i'm going till i'm getting there
i'll ride my steed all through this town
till i have looked and i have found...your peaceful memory
won't you return to me?
won't you return to me.....

seriously, this album is just what i need right now.
"my bones are worn, my hip won't hold;
i used to be so young, how did i get so old?
won't you take my cane and hold my hand?
you're holding on to all i have -
just a basket full of memories, and i am losing more each day it seems."
such heartfelt writing.

yeah I'm probably catching him with the RAA too. sick lineup, really pumped to see both acts.
Kiran -- a full orchestra? holy shit that would be other-worldly. I saw him with his regular band (standard rock band + violin, cello, and trumpet) and it was magical. The climax to Starts With Them, Ends With Us holy fucking shit

i used to prefer Oh Fortune but this has beaten it out in the long run.
i seriously don't understand why people think Oh Fortune is significantly worse than this.
