    He is quite charming with that natural nervousness in his singing voice..... the rawness is very touching

    His voice has a natural vibrato that puts him in a different league as a vocalist.
    So talented

    Ive felt so dispassionate for a long time now. Its not apathy. Its really- more or less - a numb hollowed out feeling. But the moment the music began, i teared up. A mixture if relief, grief, loss, hope, sensuality, love.....My heart has been stirred.... And i am reminded of someone very dear. ❤

      You must not let the mistakes and loves gone lost get to you. You must not let anyone create a hole inside you. It will inevitably happen, but with training in the Buddha dharma it will happen much much less. The sadness of attachment will not lead to the pangs of suffering. If you hurt and are numbed inside, commit 300% like it was yesterday to find your nearest homeless shelter and go in and volunteer to cook them dinner and serve them as often as possible. If you give others the causes of well-being, and be friend them, the causes of well-being will follow in your own life, but you must make choices that are wise and noble and wholesome, or suffering will follow you no matter how far you travel, just as the shadow follows the bird who flies.

    sometimes an album comes along that kind of marks a chapter of your life along with it, like you recall that year so and so, as the year of this or that album. This album does that for me. It has a rawness, spontaneity, yet don't be fooled, all of it is measured, organised, planned, planned in a way that tries to recapture an initial energy that was real to begin with, or from where it originated from. Well done, Mr Damon McMahon. beautiful album, and of course capturing themes so dear to him, so real, too real, for him, and he was generous to share it with us.

      Just rediscovered him after the recesses of my little brain archiving him accidentally for five years. Joy illuminated every vestige of my being as I clicked on the first few minutes of this set again. Helped me also emotionally cope with the recent loss of our beloved 19 year old maine coon cat Sidney. Thankyou as always to the power of music to emotionally heal the human condition sometimes in the best and equally worst of life's daily potholes.😂

      I've known quite a few musicians that don't listen to music. Surprised me when I first heard that as well. They're too busy actually making music. Plus if you don't listen to other people's music you're more likely to be more original. I know he spends time reading a lot.
