This album was played during the worst time period of my life so far. At the lowest point of my being, I played it on repeat in hopes to return life into myself... and it did. And for that reason, I cannot listen to one of the most beautiful albums ever made in order to avoid re-living the painful experiences that troubled me before. But this album is god damn amazing, and sometimes, when I can stand to feel something painful, I'll revisit all of the songs and live - however momentarily - in this giant collection of beauty. So, I guess in short, Thank you for the music, Andy Shauf.
To deny yourself the pain you experienced during that period of your life, is to deny the very thing that makes you human. Revel in the fact and artist has the ability to evoke such emotion. Your past will always be your past...and now Andy Shauf is a part of it.
I had this album on repeat durin a particulaly rough period of my life. It was actually something of a light in the tunnel for me. Glad to find a kindred spirit. Hope you can listen more often & more easily. Cheers

I love how Jerry Was a Clerk and My Dear Helen, is the same sad and tragic incident from 2 different perspectives. Amazing and genius song writing. Beauty in Despairity. Wonderful Album.

6 years I was with the love of my life and we sat in the dark listening to this on repeat just on a massive downward spiral into heroin addiction once again... that was last winter. He passed away almost a month ago and I had left to get clean.. Funny enough I got gifted a clarinette by a stranger. The day I left him behind to save myself.. he didn't live much longer. Covered in dust, Drink my rivers, Jesus she's a good girl. Best
Just when I felt like giving up trying to find new good real music I was brought here. I'm so grateful and happy to be here today. Love to all and be blessed. Love and light is in all of us and surrounds us.
Recently acquired this album a few months back after seeing his photo in a line-up release for a small festival near me, and I am forever considering myself the luckiest man alive for finding him. This album is genuinely one of my favourite pieces of music I have ever had the pleasure of listening to - you know the ones where you learn every lyric, work out every chord, always try to bring it up in conversations.. I went to see him live in a tiny venue in London and bumped into him in the toilets, perhaps not the most ideal place to meet the creator of your life soundtrack. I managed to muster a "good luck" and "thanks for the songs." Thanks Andy for your beautiful music.
I know what you mean. I heard a song somewhere and I Shazamed it and forgot all about it. Half a year later I was going through my history of Shazams and was wondering who that artist was. When i sampled it I fell in love with the song again and decided to look him up to see where he's playing. It turns out he's playing 4 blocks away from my place in a few weeks. Of course I bought a tik. So looking forward to that. I also bought a Ty Segal tik, hehehe.
"I'm Not Falling Asleep" is hands down my favorite song. I always have to stop what I'm doing to listen to it. Heard it inside TLE while browsing one day and that was it for me
Recently discovered Andy: impressed! I am nobody, but still impressed. His ability to evoke emotions with his lyrics and emphasize them with his musical composition convinced me that his music is a treasure best shared.
This man is a master! Even after listening to this album 10 + times I find subtle twists in the lyrics I hadn't noticed before. Not to speak about the musical arrangements. Whoosh!
Every time i listen to one of Andy's albums, i think "mm im not sure I like this as much as one of his others". Then the more I listen the more i love every single one. This album is beautiful.
Big shout out to Andy and band who I caught at the Hollywood Bardot whilst being guardian to Australian band Chase Atlantic. Amazing performance and such great musicians love the vibe of our Canadians cousins...
Well, I thought this album came after the party, but just realised it was recorded years before!!! Wow, what a depth of skill, feeling and craftsmanship this person has! I am truly humbled!
I often find it hard to catch the meaning of a song by just listening to it. I get absorbed in the whole experience and can't think about the story. I just read through the lyrics for Jerry Was a Clerk and My Dear Helen. What a pair. He tells a really vivid story, I was almost brought to tears. Really loving Andy Shauf.
Was introduced to Andy's music via "The Magician" - such a brilliant tune. One wants to listen to it again and again. This album is great but so much slower than what made me a fan in the first place. One hopes he channels his talent into making music like The Magician and Jenny Come Home. The tempo and sheer depth of those tunes is incredible - they inspire me deeply.
Found this guy randomly on soundcloud a couple days ago, Jerry was a clerk was the song i first heard, He just has such a unique sound, ive had this album on repeat everywhere i go, its just fuckin outstanding. What a guy
"Exhales smoke and says here's to hopin'"--ouch. Hometown hero you have it better than you think. Just listen to some Andy Schauf that will give you something worth living for.
@@Floydianification where I am from, there are many SCH last names, and very few SH names. Schiff. Shiff, Schoenberg. also, call people shit for spelling errors, have you considered pot instead of meth?
I'm so glad we only had to drive 5 hours to see him play at a somewhat intimate venue in Vancouver. Great show. Will definitely be seeing him again soon!
the melody at the beginning of this song sounds like the melody of the beginning of roland kirk's the inflated tear. just the first 2 seconds but it's such a distinct thing.
Andy's band got robbed for 30.000 dollars worth of gear! You can support them here: www.gofundme.com/replacing-andy-shaufs-stolen-gear Please give these guys a hand! It would be a disaster if they couldn't make new stuff because of this!

It has happened to me before with a few other albums, I love them no matter what, still the remembrance of pain comes back once it starts playing.
the avett brothers are that for me. just remember... keep on truckin ;)

I feel the same way about Radiohead. Makes my heart ache every time I hear Thom Yorke.

I was gonna be the guy that gave the track list with time links, but you should probably just listen to the whole album. 0:00 You're welcome.
or you can just just listen to Father John Misty or Wilco instead...

Huh, I didn't notice that, thanks for pointing it out man!
He also indicates mary anne's death at the beginning of jerry was a clerk. listen to it again.
Showed a coward they had never seen. Breathtaking
Ya, it truly is genius. I didn't realize it until listening to both in order.

"So be waiting by those gates, you might need to sneak me in" This line gets me everytime
Me too. I break. And start sobbing.
j'aime Andy Shauf de tout mon coeur, la vie redevient limpide avec lui!
Recently discovered Andy: impressed! I am nobody, but still impressed. His ability to evoke emotions with his lyrics and emphasize them with his musical composition convinced me that his music is a treasure best shared.
His songs "Satan" & "Wendell Walker" are deep. Like deeper than deep, bruh
Just bought this. Those clarinets are just saturated in emotion. Love it..
This man is a master! Even after listening to this album 10 + times I find subtle twists in the lyrics I hadn't noticed before. Not to speak about the musical arrangements. Whoosh!
the entire album is just so lovely. so, so lovely.
Oh its way way wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more than that. But your comment is beautiful.

The album that made me listen only Andy’s music!!! My favourite artist ever!!!✨🎼❤️
God life would be miserable without music
Well, I thought this album came after the party, but just realised it was recorded years before!!! Wow, what a depth of skill, feeling and craftsmanship this person has! I am truly humbled!

I heard "The Magician" once, on the radio, and said to myself, "Wow. Who the hell is that!? I need more." Haven't stopped listening since.
Coming back to this album again. God, I love it.
thank you for the music Andy Shauf
I am just in love with all of this
Just heard this music today for the first time and am a "same day fan!" Can't wait to hear more.
one of the best of our generation
This has to be my favorite album in the last decade.
great stuff, very elliottsmithesque
this music is so beautiful
this album is so beautiful it made me cry
It's the clarinets. They're too nice. 👌🏼

I love love your music.
Thank you for your music!!
Love love love love - just bought 2 Albums.
Gorgeous album! Thank you for being so damn Talented Andy.
surreal to think that this guy went to my high school, and is best friends with one of my old teachers
What high school did y’all go to?
Reminds me so much of Elliott Smith
+al gore nah
totally agree
y does this sound so good.
This is amazing
Understatement of the friggin' decade.

wow,.......I (honestly) suffer a tad of anxiety, this, my friends, ended (for a small instance) my troubles and worry,.........
Ronnie you speak my language. I get no escape anxiety but he does medicinialize me fast and every time
LOOKING SO FORWARD to the June 6th Foxwarren show in P-town
I Love his.-
epic album
I'm so glad we only had to drive 5 hours to see him
play at a somewhat intimate venue in Vancouver. Great show. Will definitely be seeing him again soon!
Elliott Smith-ish guitar and lyrics, his voice though is more Jeff Buckley. Good stuff
22:13 - You're Out Wasting 's very smith influenced
“For every inaction there is no equal nor opposing satisfaction.” ,dan’

Well this album sticks with the theme of bringing up cigarettes in every song
And guns- there's at least four songs off the top of my head that have to deal with guns.
Murica i guess, still amazing
