Did he date the same Suzanne as Leonard Cohen? She seems to inspire some pretty tragic songs.

I'm hearing Aldo Nova's "Fantasy". Weird.

I have heard this song a bunch of times and find it very enjoyable, listenable, and most importantly it makes me feel nostalgic for all those "perfect" girls I have been with . . .   |

So many new songs I've never heard before! Sounds like the old playlists were completely wiped out.  |

Why are all songs about Suzanne so lame?
Why, perhaps it just goes with the name!

Excellent. I've known some people like that. Maybe even been one. New York and cocaine go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Suzanne is perfect except for the band where she cut her own hand with a razor blade. New York and cocaine have got to her now she took her last bow in the powder
room. All that she wanted and all that she had are the same thing. Even in sin she still had the face of a queen.
Suzanne is broken down by the sea she was trying to be now she can never be. Alone in a madness out of control she lived in a hole with her radiohead. All that she wanted and all that she had are the same thing. Even in sin she still had the face of a queen.

No kidding. . .I thought for sure the Pepper's song was just going on way long, but then the wrong voice started singing! Neat. |

Suzanne is a perfectionist - idealist really!

I know Suzanne. She's far from perfect. She's really kind of a mess. |

Funny that someone else pointed out the Al Stewart similarity--he is one of my favorite artists, and this song reminded me somewhat of Al Stewart's "Carol."

one remedy would be to add more hopkins songs.
yes... jackson is gorgeous. kills me softly.
we just uploaded a track called "I Can't Speak Your Name" with Noe Venable on backing vocals. it's a winner too.
and then his latest "paranoia song #1"
i still love Suzanne is Perfect, and won't tire of it... but i'd sure like to hear some more of David on here. mix it up a bit.
they have another song 'some kind of christian' i think... that was "added" but has yet to be played.
anyway. class act. you should try to catch him live sometime.
you'd go home a diehard fan. they all do! :)

I checked out some more MP3s on his site, how come his Song Jackson is not on RP?
Cool, a songwriter who is around now who is actually great. I was about to give up.
