Retread Sessions - Bill Callahan "Nothing Rises to Meet Me"

[@manuelsantos2199]

Amazing songwriter and performer! Bill Callahan is really genuine! "Nothing Rises to Meet Me" "I had a thought just then Nearly did me in But I called and said 'no' Just to make it go This is the crude discipline That keeps me running A honeycomb spun Could I spin it any thinner? Should I hold all my money Or spend it all in one night On the biggest woman That I can find Well it doesn't seem to matter much And worse still this tremendous touch To conquer what I will Return without a chill And feeling open still And wanting to be filled Seek and ye shall find You need more seeking time And when I overcome Nothing rises to meet me Destroy everything Examine the remains Destroy everything Then rebuild it again This is the crude discipline That keeps me running..."

I have watched/listened to this about 2,000 times now and it is still just as great as it was when I first discovered it.

[@lauracooskey9481]

Me too, it's like some kind of addiction for me. Every little thing is perfect. [Whisper:] Destroy... [mf] everything.... [controlled crescendo] Examine... the remains... [quiet fury] Destroy everything... [resignation] Rebuild it again.... Or would that be wryness or acceptance. I don't know, but i don't get tired of it.

I like and enjoy the simplicity and the spareness of the video, the song and with just voice and acoustic guitar. I have become a new fan to Bill by way of this posting. Thanks!!!!

This song is from a compilation album called A Drag City Supersession: Tramps, Traitors and Little Devils from 2001. Bill contributes with two songs under his Smog moniker. "Nothing Rises To Meet Me" and "Zero Degrees".
