lyrics
Is the light turned on?
Is the lightbulb glowing?
Are you a human being?
Or are you just pretending?
I'd be better off in a house where I don't live
I'd save all my possessions for someone who couldn't give
Me what I want and need
I'd sell all of my things if it meant I'd believe
That there's one special thing
That makes us all real
And that's how we must feel
All of the time
Please open me
Please where's the key
Please open me
Take me to the beach
So I can finally live out all of my fantasies
Life is much too heavy
To live in reality
I know what you need
It's in your genes
Check inside your pocket
Open up your wallet
It's not all too heavy being just what it is
Life is meant for people living just to live
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
The Ohio songwriter navigates gender, queerness, class, and privilege through a powerful mix of country rock, folk ballads, and bluegrass. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 14, 2021
I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
