Every time I watch the news
I hear a symphony
Every time you cough up a noose
I hear a symphony
Late at night when the shots are like bells
I hear a symphony
When disillusioned is a fragrance that sells
I hear a symphony
You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone
In the subway of a slow dark pain
I hear a symphony
In the eyes of an old Polish woman on that train
I hear a symphony
In the echo of a muscle that fled
I hear a symphony
In the sheets of a big and haunted bed
I hear a symphony
You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone
From the seagulls at the garbage dump
I hear a symphony
At the Ritz Carlton sanitarium
I hear a symphony
In the bunting of corruption and fate
I hear a symphony
In a language that shows your age
I hear a symphony
You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone
In the sparkle of a young girl's eye
In the exclusive footage of a suicide
In the ambition of astronauts
In this Eden of tinsel and rot
You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone

And named him Steve Earle. What the hell, it's all good in my opinion. |
| StevenQ (The North American Detention Facility (formerly the United States of America)) | Posted: Jan 04, 2007 - 12:12 Did Tom Waits and Dylan have a love child? |
| ulibcn (Barcelona Spain) | Posted: Jan 04, 2007 - 12:11 First sounded to me like a light version of Tom Waits, then like Knopfler having a cold. But it's cool, I like it |
| TOM_W (GREECE) | Posted: Dec 06, 2006 - 10:30 bored , too american .. |
| StevenQ (The North American Detention Facility (formerly the United States of America)) | Posted: Dec 06, 2006 - 10:27 OK, if you say so. I feel alone though. Must be my imagination... |
| trekhead (Oooh, I could just give you SUCH a Pinch!) | Posted: Dec 06, 2006 - 10:26 Sounds like Michael Penn. 8. |
| horseplayer (Lincroft, NJ) | Posted: Dec 06, 2006 - 10:26 I really like the sentiment behind the song. Oh, and since this song seems to have inspired a round of the "this reminds me of..." game, I'll say that the combination of raggedy voice and sweet intention for me = Tom Waits. |

| Johnny_Wave (California, baby) | Posted: Jun 13, 2006 - 19:31 Really like this guy's stuff. "May Day" is an excellent album (pretty downbeat stuff overall, but a great collection of songs, and Matthew's got an interesting voice) |

ANYBODY IN THE STUDIO??? or is it RoboDJ running a the same programmed list? I feel your pain. Hearing the same sequence of songs after just 29 days is pure torture.
