"We know this world is good enough, because it has to be" What a wonderful line.

[@patrickbrownson9949]

Goddamn. I don't even know how to express my gratitude for his music. When I hear his songs I feel like I'm close to some sort of divinity, a description at which I'm sure he'd bristle but which is nevertheless the truth. Bravo.

A new album from John K. Samson is literally the best music news we can hear.

[@eldritchbf8223]

actually sobbing at this

[@patrickbrownson9949]

Woke up in a parking lot
Air mattresses gone flat
The sun selecting targets for the shadows to attack
So make a visor with your hand
Squint to where you’re from
A lonely line of buildings you can block out with your thumb
Salute the way
We try
And no one knows we’re anywhere
We’re not supposed to be
So stay awhile and watch the wind throw patterns on a field
This crop withstood the months of snow
Scavengers and blight
Tuned every ear towards a tiny lengthening of light
And found a way
To rise
We know this world is good enough
Because it has to be
Allow the hope that we will meet
Again out in the winter wheat
Find me in the winter wheat

Makes me cry every time.

I saw him perform this song at a Miriam Toews tribute like a year ago, I can't tell you how happy I am to hear it again! Thank you so much!

wow.... amazing :)

[@nickdrivinby]

THIS IS ABSOLUTE GOLD. Hearing this makes me think of all the people who obsess over bands like Neil Young and The Beatles, who will never have a clue what a musical piece of pure passion and gold sounds like…

[@joecoyote42]
