about

We Dream In Sound #06. Two track single. Made at home.

"…anyhow, ramshackle down-home two-step, yearning but hopeful, heading down the road, maybe stopping off for some fried eggs and country ham, but carrying on, always moving towards the hungry horizon - doesn’t the American Dream go something like this though nobody ever talks about it (in case it goes away or takes its mask off and turns out to be just another snakes-oil merchant trying to sell you something you don’t need) but soon morphing into Old Shakey & his Crazy Horse in all their ragged glory – oh to be warm again (you will be one day, child, you will be)…

…meanwhile on a riverboat down on the Old Mississippi, it’s a little more relaxed, like down in Cashville, though there’s still some darkness in those old chords and harmonies – anyways, there’s a lot of folks walking around in all kinds of finery pretending to be themselves (maybe that’s what identity is) but not always succeeding (maybe that’s what life is) but the river flows – it don’t care – its been here before though it doesn’t really remember (you can never stand in the same river again) this is how the country survives - constant movement, rebirth and amnesia - so we carry on playing this game ‘cos it’s in our nature and its so much easier than being honest with ourselves and one another (amen to that and pass the potatoes/pass the biscuits) ALL ABOARD THE SHIP OF FOOLS - ALWAYS ROOM FOR ONE MORE…" - David Thompson.
