I try to fly but I beat my wings too slowly
I just got back from a foreign land
Sit in my kitchen beat pots and pans
Only you can fill my hands the right way
I'm not high
I'm not high, not too lowly
I try to get by on wine and poetry
Music from the good places
Go light and don't leave a trace it's
On to the next place so quickly
Goodbye
I'm not high, but I will be
If you stop by, ah, you kill me
A two-day hug, a three-day kiss
A loving stretch of common bliss I
Did not know it could be like this
But I do now
I'm not high, no no no I'm not
I'm not high, not too lowly
The days go by just like they know me
They know just how to get my goat
They kiss me hard and then grab me by the throat
Then they sail away in a little boat, westerly
Goodbye
Or maybe I'm just doin' a bit of that old fashion projecting? Who can say.
Highlow
At least, with a voice like that you should.
This morning in March 2023 I'm leaving for road trip to a dispensary in Missouri!
How...serendipitous.
If he WAS high maybe he would've written a better song.... Kidding -- gets a solid 6.
It's a strange part of the state. You go in...but come out differently. Like a black hole.
Aww, greg is the man. A long list of CD's with a great vibe. if you're new to greg brown and like what you've heard, just go and buy a copy of "dream cafe". One of those CD's that's simply a masterwork; not so much a collection of songs, there's a thread that runs through it in some strange way where it feels, overall, like one big statement about life, relationships, family, and one guy's struggle to be a good man as he looks back at a heck of a life. I see some folks dislike the guy here, and to each their own, but if this sort of thing blows yer dress up, "dream cafe" is one of the finest collections of the last 20 years (and for the record, I like me some sex pistols and clash and led zep and bla bla bla... it ain't about "folk music", it's about "good music" that connects in some big ways).
Just listened to the Album on YouTube. Thanks for the recommendation. It's great!
He's high.

And if you liked the book "American Gods"- Neil Gaiman said that he had Dream Cafe on continuously as he wrote the book. I think a lot of the vibe of the protagonist, Shadow, came from that album.
some times a a good one
Haha! I get you, weavus. He's not too lowly and Prine had an illegal smile.
Geht mir genauso - und ohne RP würde ich den Typ gar nicht kennen.
Greetings from Bavaria to all the listeners outside
Funny thing for me is that, thanks ENTIRELY to RP, I recognized this as GB in 1 or 2 notes.....which means I should +1 my 7 to an 8....Long Live RP!!
OH no. This guy's high.
Like it, and like the cover art. For the record the (next to) last comment was made in 2004.
Please, more Greg on RP!
