lyrics
I was trying to run and hide
Thought my soul could run on pride
I thought that I could make it through the night
With a broken light
They rob us with distraction and they spoil our art
False prophets preach their poison and pollute our hearts
I can wait upon your judgment and ignore your grace
But deep inside, I long to see your face
I was trying to run and hide
Thought my soul could run on pride
I thought that I could make it through the night
With a broken light
The moment that you’re born, you’re on the gambling floor
The only way to beat the house is to head for the door
I don’t give a damn what all your cards portend
I’m gonna live just like a bluebird on the wind
I’ve been racing in the streets
I’ve been fighting with my sheets
I thought that I could make it through the night
With a broken light
I had no wings to fly with, and I had no light to see
There was beauty all around me, but all I saw was me
I can hear the morning bell
I’ll flip the bird to last year’s hell
I think I’m finally doing something right
I was trying to run and hide
Thought my soul could run on pride
I thought that I could make it through the night
With a broken light
Absolutely one of the most gifted songwriters and musicians alive right now. I cannot say enough about every single album he’s ever made. He discusses the intricacies of human emotion so well. Being a compassionate artist who has lived some days and seen some things adds to his ability to write such powerful meaningful songs that often pull at heartstrings & make you feel something real every time you listen to his music. I listen to tons of artists ranging many genres & he is 1 of the bes Yimmy Kil
All of JCA’s albums are true gems with so much honesty and heartfelt emotion. He is a lyricist who puts all his cards on the table in his songs. There is such a tender delicate atmosphere he creates with his instrumentation it begs the listener to really listen to the words in the songs. Honestly there are not many I could put above him In music. I love all the songs so real so good but my favorite is Typeface In Bold. What’s even better JCA is a genuinely nice guy too. Yimmy Kil
This charming debut has the uncommon quality of being backloaded. Listening occasionally to the first three tracks brings me powerfully back to 2021, a very vulnerable period, which feels a long time ago. (I hear the rest of Phantom Handshakes' oeuvre on the daily!)
Drift Away - simple as a snowdrop - infallibly, heart-wrenchingly beautiful - is surely my favourite song of all time. sun-dappled-dacy
