The way the violin dances with the guitar on Sycamore gives an element that's so beautiful that the original just doesn't capture! I love but recordings but the live version seems like it's more passionate to me! His voice is so smooth and it almost seems to just glide across the song. So beautiful; Bill is an under appreciated genius
👄.. I live in San Diego ... it is 12:22 a.m. .. i'm just laying here , in bed , enthralled by his voice , and the beauty of this song .... i imagine it's what a dream come to life is . ❤️👌🏼
Bill just never ever releases a bad album....From early SMOG right through to the magnificent DREAM RIVER it's just glorious record after glorious record... This is a pleasure to hear, thankyou.
Listening to the radio here in America makes me want a puke, but then I found you Bill here on TH-cam. Your lyrics are so much different than what I'm use too, way to go Bill. Your truly one of a kind, just what this old world needs. Sweet oxygen! 🙏 May God Bless, 🙏✝️🛐 Tumbleweed & Popi 🐈
Adaptation of Cold Discovery is unreal. Bill Callahan is an unrecognized genius for sure, he deserves a show at the MoMA, he's is an infusion of old world perspectives with modern sentiments
Mysterious and stunning singer/songwriter with ironic and subtle poetry! Even so far away from the places we feel so close to its stories... 0:08 "Sycamore" "There's sap in the trees if you tap 'em There's blood on the seas if you map 'em Christian, if you see your papa Tell him I love him He taught me to love in the wild And fight in the gym He taught me the bottle gives birth to the cup And you won't get hurt if you just keep your hands up And stand tall Like sycamores Like sycamores Like sycamores Sycamore got to grow down to grow up Young roots toil the soil like baby's first cup And when they bend you in two And say too green for the fire When all you want to do is be a part of the fire All you want to do is be the fire part of fire Like sycamores Like sycamores Like sycamores There's sap in the trees if you tap 'em There's blood on the seas if you map 'em Christian, when I see your papa I'll tell him you love him And remember to love in the wild And fight in the gym Remember the bottle gives birth to the cup And you won't get hurt if you just keep your hands up And stand tall Like sycamores Like sycamores Like sycamores"
05:54 "Diamond Dancer" "She was dancing so hard She danced herself into a diamond Dancing all by herself Dancing all by herself And not minding Doing the thing as she dreamed it Doing the thing as she dreamed it Her skin was sky blue Her skin was sky blue Under the lights Diamond dancer, diamond dancer Diamond dancer, diamond dancer Diamond dancer, diamond dancer She was dancing so hard She danced herself into a diamond Dancing all by herself Dancing all by herself And not minding And the one thing on her mind was The one thing on her mind was: "It's time I gave the world my light "It's time I gave the world my light Starting tonight" Diamond dancer, diamond dancer Diamond dancer, diamond dancer"
09:54 "Night" "We do not know how things work We do not know where you go In the night Through the door Through the door that holds you Through the door that holds you Out of the blue We do not know The door that holds you Silent as glue We stand under it But we don't understand it We stand under it But we don't understand it The door that holds you Silent as glue And stars fall on Stars fall on Silent as glue"
13:02 "Cold Discovery" "I know your teeth have gnashed through death Still you come to me So gently And find a soft place on your body And rub me with it Of this I won't soon forget You're the one that will remain You're the one that will remain Bust a lock with a rock Don't need a key to have me This was your cold discovery We needed a fever then we needed a cure The bait no longer lured Say goodbye quick as you can A car waits for me just across the border Wish me luck, no good luck No bad luck, just wish me luck In my cold discovery That you are gone My cold discovery That you're the one that will remain Oh, I can hold a woman down on a hardwood floor Oh, I can hold a woman down on a hardwood floor And her teeth can gnash right through me Looking for a soft place And of this you won't soon forget I had no soft place for you to rest And this was your Your cold discovery Your cold discovery Oh, I can hold a woman down on a hardwood floor Oh, I can hold a woman down on a hardwood floor This was my My cold discovery My cold discovery Few saw it for what it really was My cold discovery My cold discovery My cold discovery "
19:26 "Day" "Some people are a sickness on this land They're killing, they're taking They're stealing whatever they can Anything, anything, anything That is not bolted down Your life, your money, your heart, your faith, your bike Anything, anything, anything, anything That is not bolted down Learn from the animals Monkeys do Monkeys do Monkeys do piggish things too Learn from the vegetables Monkeys do Monkeys do The way they strive towards the light A small potato in the blight Still strives toward the light I know it's as dark as night It's as dark as night It is day though Through purple die Some would ask What are we to do With a world that crumbles to the touch? A world that spins and dies where it stands Like trying ain't enough? To family is all you can do To family is all you can do Even if it's just us two To family is all you can do And strive toward the light It's as dark as night Strive toward the light Strive toward the light I know it's as dark as night I know it's as dark as night It is day though"
24:18 "Jim Cain" "I started out in search of ordinary things How much of a tree bends in the wind I started telling the story without knowing the end I used to be darker, then I got lighter, then I got dark again Something too big to be seen was passing over and over me Well, it seemed like a routine case at first With the death of the shadow came a lightness of verse But the darkest of nights, in truth, still dazzles And I work myself until I'm frazzled I ended up in search of ordinary things Like how can a wave possibly be? I started running, and the concrete turned to sand I started running, and things didn't pan out as planned In case things go poorly and I not return Remember the good things I've done In case things go poorly and I not return Remember the good things I've done Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh Done me in"
This is utterly creative stuff. He is truly one-of-a-kind! He borders just INSIDE the divide between insider and outsider music. Or he's the greatest outsider artist who ever lived.... He's the closest we've had to Nick Drake but without the perpetually depressing lyrics.

I only Discovered Bill recently , But now remember his peel sessions . His Work I find Remarkable. His space the Zone he inhabits is other worldly . to the extent i believe he may well be a clairvoyant , of some kind , understated and underrated. nevertheless, wouldn’t we all hate if he was cheesy street ,accepted.

It's the most stunning version of "cold discovery" I have ever heard !!!
thanks Mr.Callahan for your album I love your songs, so expensive your album here in Europe but i'm satisfied listening for your all your songs
Thanks Nars for making me turn off the beauty of Bill Callahan for that terrible Richard Marx song, like drinking pond slime after champagne.

Amazing as always.

Bill Callahan, East Vancouver Just wanted to share a BC project of mine..man I love this guy..
Mysterious and stunning singer/songwriter with ironic and subtle poetry!
Even so far away from the places we feel so close to its stories...
0:08 "Sycamore"
"There's sap in the trees if you tap 'em
There's blood on the seas if you map 'em
Christian, if you see your papa
Tell him I love him
He taught me to love in the wild
And fight in the gym
He taught me the bottle gives birth to the cup
And you won't get hurt if you just keep your hands up
And stand tall
Like sycamores
Like sycamores
Like sycamores
Sycamore got to grow down to grow up
Young roots toil the soil like baby's first cup
And when they bend you in two
And say too green for the fire
When all you want to do is be a part of the fire
All you want to do is be the fire part of fire
Like sycamores
Like sycamores
Like sycamores
There's sap in the trees if you tap 'em
There's blood on the seas if you map 'em
Christian, when I see your papa
I'll tell him you love him
And remember to love in the wild
And fight in the gym
Remember the bottle gives birth to the cup
And you won't get hurt if you just keep your hands up
And stand tall
Like sycamores
Like sycamores
Like sycamores"
05:54 "Diamond Dancer"
"She was dancing so hard
She danced herself into a diamond
Dancing all by herself
Dancing all by herself
And not minding
Doing the thing as she dreamed it
Doing the thing as she dreamed it
Her skin was sky blue
Her skin was sky blue
Under the lights
Diamond dancer, diamond dancer
Diamond dancer, diamond dancer
Diamond dancer, diamond dancer
She was dancing so hard
She danced herself into a diamond
Dancing all by herself
Dancing all by herself
And not minding
And the one thing on her mind was
The one thing on her mind was:
"It's time I gave the world my light
"It's time I gave the world my light
Starting tonight"
Diamond dancer, diamond dancer
Diamond dancer, diamond dancer"
09:54 "Night"
"We do not know how things work
We do not know where you go
In the night
Through the door
Through the door that holds you
Through the door that holds you
Out of the blue
We do not know
The door that holds you
Silent as glue
We stand under it
But we don't understand it
We stand under it
But we don't understand it
The door that holds you
Silent as glue
And stars fall on
Stars fall on
Silent as glue"
13:02 "Cold Discovery"
"I know your teeth have gnashed through death
Still you come to me
So gently
And find a soft place on your body
And rub me with it
Of this I won't soon forget
You're the one that will remain
You're the one that will remain
Bust a lock with a rock
Don't need a key to have me
This was your cold discovery
We needed a fever then we needed a cure
The bait no longer lured
Say goodbye quick as you can
A car waits for me just across the border
Wish me luck, no good luck
No bad luck, just wish me luck
In my cold discovery
That you are gone
My cold discovery
That you're the one that will remain
Oh, I can hold a woman down on a hardwood floor
Oh, I can hold a woman down on a hardwood floor
And her teeth can gnash right through me
Looking for a soft place
And of this you won't soon forget
I had no soft place for you to rest
And this was your
Your cold discovery
Your cold discovery
Oh, I can hold a woman down on a hardwood floor
Oh, I can hold a woman down on a hardwood floor
This was my
My cold discovery
My cold discovery
Few saw it for what it really was
My cold discovery
My cold discovery
My cold discovery
"
19:26 "Day"
"Some people are a sickness on this land
They're killing, they're taking
They're stealing whatever they can
Anything, anything, anything
That is not bolted down
Your life, your money, your heart, your faith, your bike
Anything, anything, anything, anything
That is not bolted down
Learn from the animals
Monkeys do
Monkeys do
Monkeys do piggish things too
Learn from the vegetables
Monkeys do
Monkeys do
The way they strive towards the light
A small potato in the blight
Still strives toward the light
I know it's as dark as night
It's as dark as night
It is day though
Through purple die
Some would ask
What are we to do
With a world that crumbles to the touch?
A world that spins and dies where it stands
Like trying ain't enough?
To family is all you can do
To family is all you can do
Even if it's just us two
To family is all you can do
And strive toward the light
It's as dark as night
Strive toward the light
Strive toward the light
I know it's as dark as night
I know it's as dark as night
It is day though"
24:18 "Jim Cain"
"I started out in search of ordinary things
How much of a tree bends in the wind
I started telling the story without knowing the end
I used to be darker, then I got lighter, then I got dark again
Something too big to be seen was passing over and over me
Well, it seemed like a routine case at first
With the death of the shadow came a lightness of verse
But the darkest of nights, in truth, still dazzles
And I work myself until I'm frazzled
I ended up in search of ordinary things
Like how can a wave possibly be?
I started running, and the concrete turned to sand
I started running, and things didn't pan out as planned
In case things go poorly and I not return
Remember the good things I've done
In case things go poorly and I not return
Remember the good things I've done
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Done me in"
I recently discovered this artist and I fell in love immediately, fantastic work !

A gem of a find - London, UK
