On the one had it's nice to discover a hidden gem like this but on the other hand it's hard to imagine how so many others with less talent are way more famous. I saw him live before - amazing show.
I‘m drawn to songs by their harmonies. But it is the lyrics that make me come back to a song. „Dwindling beauty“ is the perfect storm for me. Captivating harmonies, topped with lyrics that one just can not escape. I can‘t understand why this is not world news. I wish I had the answers.
This song made me think of two famous thinkers. Firstly, blaise pascal: "All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone”. And secondly, the sentiment was reminiscent of the words of King Solomon when he said "the wind blows to the south and goes around to the north; around and around goes the wind, and on its circuits the wind returns. All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again. All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done," Ecclesiastes 1:6. At the end of Ecclesiastes, the author concludes with this, " Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil."
Beautiful. I was taking a leak just now, thinking about some of the things he describes in this song. Then I went to my computer and listened to it for the first time...???... Synchronicity?....Whatever, nice job man.
My God, Workman is on good form at the moment. This is simply brilliant.
'I think the universe is trying to tell me nothing'. OMG this man is on form. What a tune, what a song.
Have you been channelling Gord Downie, old friend? This was wonderful.
Well done!! Love that line “in the dwindling beauty...”!
