lyrics
I am like a wall
Too high to hear your call
I do not honour you
Feeling two-foot small
I hide within these walls
I do not speak the truth
I cannot face
All the lies and the disgrace
That we all know is true
Still you wait for me
No matter where I be
I will come back to you
I am waiting
Till the day that I am free
From petty, hurtful feelings
I am blind, this you can see
Speaking the sweet words
To make the god’s souls stir
I resolve to seek my truth
Of you, me, and he
All together are we
I contend to follow you
I cannot face
All the lies and the disgrace
That we all know is true
Still you wait for me
No matter where I be
I will come back to you
I am waiting
Till the day that I am free
From petty, hurtful feelings
I am blind, this you can see
I am blind, but you can see me
Too high to hear your call
I do not honour you
Feeling two-foot small
I hide within these walls
I do not speak the truth
I cannot face
All the lies and the disgrace
That we all know is true
Still you wait for me
No matter where I be
I will come back to you
I am waiting
Till the day that I am free
From petty, hurtful feelings
I am blind, this you can see
Speaking the sweet words
To make the god’s souls stir
I resolve to seek my truth
Of you, me, and he
All together are we
I contend to follow you
I cannot face
All the lies and the disgrace
That we all know is true
Still you wait for me
No matter where I be
I will come back to you
I am waiting
Till the day that I am free
From petty, hurtful feelings
I am blind, this you can see
I am blind, but you can see me

Masana Temples
by Kikagaku Moyo/幾何学模様supported by 13 fans who also own “I Am Blind”
Oh how I long for this album in vinyl format! Such smoothness. Such warmth. Such execution. This music begs to be taken along and woven into memories. Everyone I’ve shared this album with has loved it. The music speaks far and wide. Shouting out to a fellow follower, Brian Lehmann, for his excellent taste in music. If not for him, I likely would have never stumbled upon this absolute gem!

Been a huge fan of bands like the Warlocks, BJT, dolly rocker movement…etc… really glad to have found these guys. Been playing this album non stop for days now and can’t think of any better way to be spending my time.

Kaleidoscopic sound from L.A.’s Vinyl Williams, where soft, breathy vocals drift down a neon river of keys, surrounded by sparkling guitars.

Chantry / The Villain
by Mt. Mountainsupported by 11 fans who also own “I Am Blind”
This record somehow manages to slow down time! I enjoy the overall sound of the instruments and especially the voice. Either listen to this in a dark room and relax or crank up the volume and feel the fuzz! (Will probably sound even better on vinyl)
