  • My house is full of depression antiques
    From all the way, way back
    late last week, man
    It’s a D E P R E S S I owe I O N
    I ain’t a gambler but I bet
    It don’t get
    Better
    Well there ain’t nuthin much to do
    But sit and watch the tube
    Wait for the pill to come and kick the door through
    On yer D E P R E S S I owe I O N
    So sayeth the therapist: come back
    …well if you insist
    I was so broke
    That I went and got fixed
    The veterinarian was nice
    But my doctor was pissed
    It’s a D E P R E S S I owe I O N
    Well I’ve always been a little bit sad around the edges
    It ain’t nuthin to fix
    And it ain’t contagious
    It’s jus a D E P R E S S I owe I O N
    I ain’t a gambler
    But I bet
    It don’t get
    Better

      These are kind of reworked blues and folk classics but it’s the melody choices and lyrics that are really impressive. Wonder how many of these are works in progress that took years and how much of it was like a creative burst? Having written music most of my adult life sometimes it evolves slowly and sometimes you can’t get the ideas out of your head fast enough. He clearly has a deep library of songs to draw elements from so he’s keeping the riffs and chords simple so the message can be the center of attention. Just awesome stuff!

    • @theuj
      @theuj Před 8 dny +11

      It’s pretty clear to see he’s cookin these up quick, but like most prolific folks, he doesn’t concern himself with something sounding too close to something else. Reminds me a bit of Loudon Wainwright III, but all you need to hear is his Boeing whistle blower tune to see that his creative fire is burning BRIGHT right now and he can’t miss.

    the world keeps turning no matter what we think of it, or each other, or the time we're living in. A friend once said to me that 'depression is an affliction of the intellectual' the more you're able to think about things and put shit into context, the worse it seems. Maybe - but the world keeps turning careless of us. That feller also told me I should write my anger down, put it out in the way you're doing but I have no talent. My guitar playing is remedial at best and my singing voice has a repellent quality unrivaled. You on the other hand, have got this. Stay on it, folks are HEARING you
