Go on get out there
And spread yourself around like butter
Cause we both know the real world,
The busy life makes you shudder
For now I’ll sing the songs
That carry me through the night
And I’ll hope that one day soon
You’ll be back in my life
You’ll be back in my life
Go on get out there
And tear yourself apart like tissue
Cause we both know you’ll go
Everywhere and take the whole load with you
For now I’ll sing the songs
That used to carry you through the night
And I’ll hope that one day soon
You’ll be back in my life
You’ll be back in my life
So go on get out there
Get gone be free
Cause we both know you hate the snow
You were only ever meant to leave
For now I’ll stand my ground
And keep my head held high
Cause I knew when I met you
We were meant to say goodbye
We were meant to say

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness. Bandcamp New & Notable May 13, 2016
