Slowly realising how itās his world and weāre living in it. Inspiring to see how huge an impact one songwriter can have on the world.

š§Jeffrey lewis has a way of making optimism seem actually practical. Hearing him for the first time.. it just clicked immediately. Iām eternally grateful for him, his mind, his comics, and for this song.
Once, during a particularly rough shift, I played āLifeā maybe about 15 times on repeat. I didnāt even mean to, nor did I have it queued, I just kept hitting the button on my headphones to manually replay it each time I got to the end. I just HAD to hear it again and I soaked in those lyrics every single time around.
āLife is a story, don't you doubt Bad times give ya something to talk about The next time you think youre all worn out, Remember life is a story, Dontcha doubt.. It only takes a day for everything to turn aroundā

šØIāve recently become obsessed with finding songs that fit into this category, which Iāll explain: these are songs that are anthemic singalong songs, but different than an anthemic pop song. These songs are usually dense and layered production-wise, tell a story, and are more lyrical than a standard pop song. The sentiment of these songs are bigger and more sprawling than a typical songās subject matter. When I brought this up on the pod, KJ came up with the term āraconteur anthems,ā and someone else said I was referring to āwe anthemsā instead of āI songs,ā and I think thatās the perfect way to describe it. I think that when this type of song is done perfectly, it probably makes for the best music ever written.Ā āLike A Rolling Stoneā is the archetype of this type of song. Other main examples include āCommon Peopleā by Pulp, āAll My Friendsā by LCD Soundsystem, āBorn In The USAā by Bruce Springsteen, āHeroesā by David Bowie, āAmerican Pieā by Don McLean, and this list goes on. A song is probably the most accessible art form there is, and achieving this level of universality in something that short and contained is an amazing feat, and Iāve gotten really obsessed with trying to figure out which songs fit the bill.

On our picture shelves (Get on, or get out) Statues mocking me How am I supposed to feel? How am I not put at ease? Talk yourself to sleep Fall into it deep I will wash off mine with rolling waves of worry It doesn't have to feel so wrong Bethany you're riding this one to its grave (the gates) You never understood the difference between someone's beating and refusal to trade Bless these tangled veins (Get on, or get out) None of which will grow the same Now am I supposed to fake it? Now are you so poised, at ease? Think long, think, think long, think think Can you feel it surround me? I think it'll drown me And I wonder how you could say that we (you) really owe you (us) anything Think long, think, think long, think think

I have been building followers for a year and a half called āmorning breakfastā and would invite one and all to join the party. I update every two to three weeks filled with great stuff old and new from dream pop / r&b / streetsoul / dance of all flavour and more. I wish there was a way to more easily discover peoples curated playlists, my favourite is one called 98.willem fm š»
