Simple Folk Roads
A record with two threads running through it. The first is simplicity shared with someone: an honest road instead of the noise, “just you” instead of gold, coffee in bed instead of plane tickets, a morning in the kitchen, and the line that home is the other person. The second is breaking away — burning the map, escaping to the sea at five in the morning, dropping everything.
The sound follows the subject: acoustic guitar, harmonica, upright bass, light drums. Not a single screamed chorus. The record closes with thanks — for this breath, for this skin, and for the chance to begin again.
Tracklist
The opening track: tired of the noise, wanting something honest.
Love with nothing added: the other person is enough.
A life without hurry — coffee in bed instead of plane tickets.
The most cheerful track on the record: a morning in the kitchen and nothing more.
The turn on the record: the decision to walk out of a life that is leaking away.
The same motif as “Just You” with a different third verse — the repetition that binds the record together.
Home is not an address — the simplest thought on the record, and its longest chorus.
Escaping to the sea at five in the morning, with no goodbyes.
The loudest track on the record — and the only one where the reason for leaving is his child.
The closing track: thanks for this breath, for this skin, and for the chance to begin again.
