    Lyrics:
    Oh my my, oh I guess
    That I've done my time, now I've laid to rest
    There’s a campfire inside my soul
    And it billows
    And the sky was a thousand years old
    Always kept time in my back pocket
    No man, goddamn, came to take my soul
    Shut the door, then lock it
    And where have all of my friends gone
    And where did all of my friends go
    And where have all of my friends gone
    They billow
    Thought that I saw Jessi, she was sitting in a crowd
    Thought that I saw Jessi, then I got to feeling proud
    To ever have known someone so pretty and so sweet
    Who every-time she sang a song it'd sweep me off me feet
    But oh my my, oh I guess
    That she did her time, now she's laid to rest
    There’s a campfire inside her soul
    Still billows
    Lay your head on my pillow
    There's a fire inside you, and that’s why you billow
    Stay calm, stay calm, and give me your palm
    A song, a song for you
    I walked to town, devil one side of me
    Held by an angel put poems inside of me
    Down to my mouth said won’t you recite to me, okay
    Every first Wednesday there goes that sound again
    Sun’s going down and she's a sundowner
    Stay calm, stay calm, and give me your palm
    Give me your palm, and I’ll sing you a song
    Young kids smoke cigarettes out on the avenue
    Sun’s going down so you might as well have a few
    Hey who are you? Did you hear the news?
    Anthony's dead, and Poor Richard too.
    They billow, they billow, and it makes me nervous
    They whittled a fiddle from wood in our service
    Now that it’s dusk, kids scatter the avenue
    Hey who are you? I'm a sundowner too

    Love how he keeps bringing back the reference to 'billowing', how it means one thing from the campfire, and makes him nervous when its the kid's cigarettes. This is one of the few albums I've heard in a while where I don't skip any of the songs. Just beautiful poetry and simple but melodic song writing. Music has been needing something like this.

    Seeing Kevin Morby live at Union Transfer in Philly yesterday was an absolute dream. I've never felt such a soul connection to an artist's music the way I do his. I only knew him from the Babies and only recently discovered his solo work 🤯. I went to see his concert immediately. Kevin Morby's voice and lyrics have been there for me in both the dark and the light times and I am so grateful for that experience to see him. His voice is unique, lyrics are beautiful. And when he plays live, it seems that his ego takes a back seat. It's all about the music and the (big magical!) vibe..... Don't mean to gush here but the love and appreciation are real!!! 😊💖✨. Happy to see other big fans as well :)

    I like Kevin Morby. His songs are interesting (tempo changes, abrupt pauses, etc.), his lyrics are oddly particular ("every first Wednesday"), and his visuals starkly American (everything seen here). This makes for really unique yet still universally relevant themes. Sometimes his performativity is overdone and I can't follow, but that's OK. He's going for something. All of these things are embodied in this song and video. Looking forward to the rest of the record.
