about

According to Nick Leet...

I recorded the bones of this song on an 8 track in the living room of my old house. It walks through the different stages of life.

See if you can find the Prince reference.

Elliot's backing vocals are magic.

lyrics

I can't tell you the beginning
I can't remember that far
It's something about a light
and nothing more, nothing more
but pure love
pure love

Each day I grew older
Bigger and bigger each day
The sky changed from red to purple
Somehow it stayed that way
Was it pure love?
That's calling me?
Was it pure love?
love
That's calling me

Each day I tried to learn
each day the less I know
Each new place I never been before
but I was looking for more
Was it pure love?
that's calling me?
Was it pure love?
love
That's calling me

Someday when you're older
You're gonna try so hard to understand
Someday when you're older
You're gonna learn that you were born to never understand

I knew Bob before he was 'Slim'. Then lost touch. Always followed him musically from Buzz Barker and the Atomic Bums to his solo work. I was never much into listening to live music at First Ave or bars so I didn't really get to watch him play and sing. I did see him open for Roseanne Cash once. Take care Bob! clayb

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off. felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery. thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness
