Where were you? It is everything good and right and effortless; and yet this fleeting moment is derailed and distorted via cheap cellphone CCTV. Beauty ill-defined; a star of the age is uplifted and the essence of an embodied, shuttered, memory bruises a tired heart. Come closer, for he is destiny as imagined in some other world, far from this palatial bothy. A scolded sting to those crumbling services, positioned on the outer edges of such lucious, golden lips. The sketched, swollen eye nodding towards a distant lens reminds you he really 'means' it. It's time to go home, across the sky miles, to what you once knew as comfort and joy. He is just for you, tonight.

Home / Record / Tour - Shearwater play Stereo, Glasgow, on Sunday April 1st. No joke. The new album, Animal Joy, is out now on Subpop. The photo of Jonathan was taken by myself at a show at Neumos in Seattle, December 12, 2008.

Heart bruises, stung scolded lips, swollen distant eyes.. within and without of context , you paint such pretty pictures [as I'm sure without a doubt Shearwater does as well]. Glad to see you back Monsieur. x
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks Gen, that is very kind of you. Shearwater are really worth catching live. Jonathan's voice is just sublime. And he is a big Talk Talk / Mark Hollis fan of course. :) x
