“You’re just like Anne Frank
Like Indiana Jones
And them British bad boys, The Rolling Stones”
“I carry four pistols and two large knifes”
“All the pretty maids and all the all queens”
I mean, this song is fully insane.

In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them that's insane
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That Johanna's not here
Maybe this is cheating but this really is my favorite poem and Dylan won a Nobel Prize for literature so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I mean, Dylan was never Bob's real name but a gesture of reinvention, arriving in a new land and telling a sideways story about where he came from. Kind of like this poem set to music -- the main character seems more than a little borrowed from Kerouac and his notion of glimpsing the the sacred from the low-down perch of the profane.

But especially Tangled Up in Blue -
“But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
Tangled up in blue”

‘Happiness Is A Warm Gun’
One of my favorite songs, and alot of Beatles’ fans least favorite song. The lyrics are so beautifully written and the song sounds ghostly when high. Written supposedly about a girl and sex, though moreso known for the song being about heroin on the DL. Another song with the same meanings is ’Golden Brown’ by The Stranglers, my absolute favorite song ever, written about a girl and heroin. Some of the most beautiful songs are written about heroin- or on heroin. im getting off track. I just want to ramble about this Beatles track. Im in love with this song, everything about it. The lyrics are so well written and the chorus breakdown fits so well, “I need a fix, im going down”, the lower harmonies and grittier instrumental. I’ve been there before, feel it in my bones, explains needing “a fix” perfectly musically.
“The man in the crowd with his multicolored mirrors on his hobnail boots, lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime” You can envision it, you can envision them writing this song, you can feel the song. I try not to recommend classic rock or the beatles as it’s been told and recommended thousands and thousands of times but i think this is a unique one- something different. Give it a listen if you haven’t!

Today is the release of my new EP, and being an independent musician is HARD AF.
So I’m feeling down, because I know this project, the one I poured my heart and soul into, will not reach all the places and people I would want.
So here it is, my GARAGE SALE. Hope you like it ❤️
