LYRICS:
I’m whistling with this empty hole
My reflection I don’t know
This ceiling I’m seeing it a lot
Before I get the sleep that I bought
Yeah changes
That’s the part that hits
Top speed don’t feel s---
Just floating
Walking through the walls
Don’t know where I’m going overall
I hear nothing calling out my name
That’s ok
Here I am f------ answering anyway
Dead inside but life’s still moving
Dead inside but I’m still doing
Atlantis
Lost it in a day
They were all a------- anyway
Time moving
Nothing stays the same
But I’ve been in this same shirt for so many days
Earth turning underneath my feet
Just scraping
Happening
This gets me out of bed
A little light yeah up ahead
I hear nothing calling out my name
That’s ok
Here I am f------ answering anyway
Dead inside but life’s still moving
Dead inside but I’m still doing

Very Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan-esque. Another excellent track. Definitely ordering the album on vinyl 👍🏼

[@hklinker]

Good call on the Steely Dan. I’d go farther and say parts of this remind me of Donald Fagen’s last album (Sunken Condos) and the track I’m Not the Same Without You.

Louis, I love your combination of percussive and Harmonic innovation! I feel it's actually contributing to moving music forward into the future.

[@THATGuyEd]

Ooh, a wonderful mix of Green Gartside (Scritti Politti) and Donald Fagen (Steely Dan), with of course, Dat Louis Stank. Well done sir. Just a few more days until this monster is dropped on the world. Wish you all the best, and... thank you Louis.

[@fresser28]

Definitely Fagen influence - I think Cole did the Scritti thing back with Knower (with Artadi subbing for Gartside). I heard a few David Gamson touches in Park Your Car, though. Both songs are my favourites on this album - have listened to them compulsively for a month.

[@zeroprogressive]

I knew I Needed and was gonna get this Album even before "I'm Tight" was ever released. Whatever was coming next "I Wanted In" since stumbling upon Louis in 2020. Like "Loop Daddy" Marc Rebillet said... "Don't You For One Second Think You Can Fuck With This Man!!!". A Deep Breath Of Fresh Air is what this is.

[@tescheurich]

How anyone can so simultaneously be gifted as hell and, at least as a songwriting persona, so full of self-contempt is a wonder of the world.

[@BullytraxMusic]

Self-contempt sounds a little harsh here. How do you figure?

[@fresser28]

Read the lyrics. I wouldn't call it self contempt so much as an artist's struggle to sift through all the ideas buzzing through his head and feeling he may have failed on some level sometimes. What's more interesting to me about his lyrics is the way he expresses disappointment in and fear of losing love. His is a new kind of heartbreak (but also not, just expressed better - Not Needed Anymore is a prime example).

[@reynaldomadridi7238]

It's soo FUNKY! Cause I been in this SHIRT! "Lawd how mercer"! He killed that joint!
