Jack the Boy
Jack the boy played the guitar the same way
that he did when he first learned
And he only played for friends and I was one
Jack the man strummed the guitar in a band
and forgot how good it felt
To play for only those who cared
But oh how he longed for just one lonesome soul
to hear that melody
And lend a willing ear
So he picked and he sang 'til the blood within his veins
Flowed with bitter wine to sooth a mellow pain
But all that he played was in vain
(Inst.)
But oh how he longed for just one lonesome soul to hear that melody
And lend a willing ear
So he picked and he sang 'til the blood within his veins
Flowed with bitter wine to sooth a mellow pain
But all that he played was in vain
Jack the boy played the guitar the same way
that he did when he first learned
And he only played for friends and I was one
Jack the man strummed the guitar in a band
and forgot how good it felt
To play for only those who cared
To play for only those who cared
Hearing this was like discovering Desire, or London Calling for the first time. Derivative yet original, the songs are immediate and the melodies will get stuck in your ear for days. tideracer
Gonzo. Passion. The Ming Vase. Haunting and beautiful. Every listen brings a new favorite.
Do something like this again, Miss Emma. Please let the answer be yes. Please let the answer be yes! alien9

Courtney has really delivered a gem in this record. This collection of songs feels tight and cohesive. Highlights for me are "How Quickly Your Heart Mends" and "Table For One". What has always struck me about Courtney's music is that the melodies sound like the lyrics feel; from the arrangements to the delivery, you won't be disappointed! David Johnson
