Yes I was flaking on you, cause I was sturdy about it last night No need to take away from it, you flew, I surrendered to the moment, You washed away the sadness, your world had no minimum requirements So tender, hands of a sweet of a sweet machine, I spot the soul of a masquerade Unnecessary goodbye, you’ve taken your time I’m wrestled by the moment, hung by the thread of your mind Toe deep to test the water, three inches too far and too slow I stepped right into order, you welcome the subtle overthrow Ice cubes melting like raindrops, clouds of guilt built like the nimbus, I’m weakest at your mercy, control me like a circus, Unnecessary goodbye, you’ve taken your time I’m wrestled by the moment, hung by the thread of your mind
I was unprepared for just how good this is. almost threw away my phone and laptop jamming to this!!! WHAT!!! Sooooo much yes to everything about this song/piece of art!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Honestly.... theres only 1 thing i can say about this.... Timeless🙏👑 New Skool Vibe with an Old Skool Complexity. Ur authenticity shines like the sun... Ur luv 4 REAL Music is DEFINATELY Felt, Respected, Reverenced, Appreciated but most of all... NEEDED. Thank You. - from Canada (Fresco P)
Excellent. I don't know if Jordan has been influenced by Steely Dan but this has definitely made me look further into this artist. Hoping to catch him on tour next month in the UK.
I'd say the influence is definitely there, whether conscious or not (I suspect the former). Check out the work of some of his musician-friends in London, especially Tom Misch ("I Wish" live) and keyboardist Alfa Mist. Alfa's latest album "Antiphon" is begging for Fagen to sing all over it.
yes yes yes
you are awesome too!
You are also "yes yes yes", Tom!!
Tom please come in Italy with Jordan and Alfa Mist...
wait, as in THE TOM MISCH?
Nice!
When this song ends..it feels like an unnecessary goodbye..
''the kinda jam you put on your bread every morning''
corny
Yes I was flaking on you, cause I was sturdy about it last night
No need to take away from it, you flew, I surrendered to the moment,
You washed away the sadness, your world had no minimum requirements
So tender, hands of a sweet of a sweet machine,
I spot the soul of a masquerade
Unnecessary goodbye, you’ve taken your time
I’m wrestled by the moment, hung by the thread of your mind
Toe deep to test the water, three inches too far and too slow
I stepped right into order, you welcome the subtle overthrow
Ice cubes melting like raindrops, clouds of guilt built like the nimbus,
I’m weakest at your mercy, control me like a circus,
Unnecessary goodbye, you’ve taken your time
I’m wrestled by the moment, hung by the thread of your mind
Seriously underrated
