Ο stcigar μου θύμισε αυτό το τραγούδι του Nick Saloman, κιθαρίστα – singer – songwriter και επιφανούς της βρετανικής νεοψυχεδελκής σκηνής. Από τις πλέον συμπαθείς μου φυσιογνωμίες του χώρου, μου είχε γίνει ακόμα συμπαθέστερος μετά την εμπειρία του κοινού live με τους Bevis Frond – ανοίγοντας γι’ αυτούς με τους Blue Light στο Ρόδον, κάποια στιγμή στα ‘90s. “Εύφημος μνεία” εδώ στον Bari Watts, κιθαρίστα και αντεπιστέλλον μέλος του γκρουπ – προεξάρχοντα στο “δίδυμο σόλο” του τέλους. 📀 📀 📀 stcigar reminded me of this song by Nick Saloman, guitarist-singer-songwriter and a prominent figure in the British neo-psychedelic scene. One of my most likable personalities in the field, he became even more endearing to me after the experience of sharing a bill with the Bevis Frond — opening for them with Blue Light at the Rodon, sometime in the ’90s. “Honorable mention” here to Bari Watts, guitarist and corresponding member of the band – taking the lead in the “twin solo” at the end.

In the half light back of my neck I could dig this buzz
I ought to thrill to the sheik of shake and the king of scuzz
There’s a lure in the ratchet chair and the speedfreaks goo
All I ever wanted was to taste it too
There’s a call in an alien tongue and it wants my time
Not enough to pretend I care, I got to show that I’m
Really into your incredible trip and drugstop juice
All I ever needed was a good excuse
Hold tight cause I’m doing all right
For a Barrow Hill boy with a sunburst cloud
And by the grace of god and the shadows of man
I got a ten week tour but I don’t want it
I’m here after all of these years
With a State Side deal stuck between my ears
I won’t look so clever if it disappears
It’s a wonderful thing, but I can’t feel it
No…
I was born with a fortunate streak and it pays my rent
I go to sleep to the moribund sounds of the tapes you sent
And if anyone tells you that it all comes free
Don’t pay no attention til you talk to me
Hold tight cause I’m doing all right
For a Barrow Hill boy with a sunburst cloud
And by the grace of god and the shadows of man
I got a ten week tour but I don’t want it
I’m here after all of these years
With a State Side deal stuck between my ears
I won’t look so clever if it disappears
It’s a wonderful thing, but I can’t feel it
No…

No
Can’t feel it
