lyrics
At my desk August '03
When the power went out in New York City
Down some stairs, out through the doors
How that day was a beauty
Seemed such a pity
First world problems knocking
Darkness and the sunshine
The sunshine
One little thought that crossed a few minds, when the blackout began
Was this Bin Laden?
Either way, the fear disappeared, and the city seemed peaceful
Worries forgotten
First world problems knocking
Standing in the sunshine
The sunshine
The sunshine
My wife was downtown, but I couldn't reach her
There were no working cellphones, no
Subway's down, can't get a cab
Looked like I'd have to walk home
From Sixth Avenue and 25th
To Brooklyn
So I'm walking it home, and I got a strut
I'm a little bit sweaty, and a little bit hot
Now I've walked it before, and I just won't stop
But in working clothes, my underwear's riding up
Got those first world problems a-knocking
Beating down on me as I'm walking
In the sunshine...
And the ice cream's melting
At the grocery
And all I really wanted was a bottle of cold iced tea
I made Broadway and Prince Street, where my wife would be
But her office was closed
The woman left without me
Slightly annoyed I walked down to the Brooklyn Bridge
And there's a policeman
Who says I cannot cross, with hundreds of people waiting in line
But I've come too far for this!
And right before my eyes, and right behind his back I see
Someone sneak around onto the bridge
Excuse me, I really have to run...
I made it across to be greeted by the waving borough president
It made me smile, after all I was a proud Brooklyn resident
Almost home, I carried on
Alone
Through the door, up some stairs
In a brownstone on Carroll, was our apartment
I sat down, alone on the bed
Until I heard voices from the back garden
I went to the window and opened it up
My wife was out back offering me a warm cup of iced tea
I walked right down

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
Sustained by seismic psych riffs, proggy shifts, and vivid sci-fi storytelling, these Milwaukee cosmonauts command respect. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2023
An amazing reinterpretations of old Genesis classics. Even "Invisible touch", in my opinion one of the worst songs by Genesis, in this album is a little gem. You can almost imagine Steve Hackett on classical guitar. mario1984
