Sage Francis – The Best Of Time

One of the beautiful song of 2010… The music was made by composer Yann Tiersen, and produced by Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine), who produced the entirety of Sage’s new LP, LI(F)E. Sounds like a good title, no ?

It was beautiful, it was brutal, it was cruel, it was business as usual, Heaven, it was Hell, I used to wonder if I’d live to see twelve. When I did I figured out I was immortal, loved to dance but couldn’t make it to the formal, couldn’t bare watching my imaginary girlfriend bust a move with any other dudes, Tone Loc was talking about a wild thing, I was still caught up in some child things, scared of a God who couldn’t spare the rod, it was clearly a brim-stone and fire thing, pyromaniac, kleptomaniac, couldn’t explain my desire to steal that fire, now I add it to my rider, like “please don’t please don’t throw me in that patch of brier!”

It was the best of times, it was the end of times.
