lyrics
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely world
Casts a shadow on the shallow love it hurls
To the feet of swine it need not cast its pearls
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely world
And the sound of the void
Flows through your body
Undestroyed
And the sound of your voice
Flows from your body
White as noise
And the void speaks to you
In ways nobody speaks to you
And that voice fills the air
Fog in the morning, going nowhere
Lonely, lonely, lonely face under a veil
After all the laughter emptiness prevails
Born into this world with no consent or choice
Lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely…
Casts a shadow on the shallow love it hurls
To the feet of swine it need not cast its pearls
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely world
And the sound of the void
Flows through your body
Undestroyed
And the sound of your voice
Flows from your body
White as noise
And the void speaks to you
In ways nobody speaks to you
And that voice fills the air
Fog in the morning, going nowhere
Lonely, lonely, lonely face under a veil
After all the laughter emptiness prevails
Born into this world with no consent or choice
Lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely…

about
Moses Sumney Asheville, North Carolina
Moses Sumney evades definition as an act of duty: technicolor self-directed videos and monochrome clothes; Art Rock and
Black Classical; blowing into Fashion Weeks from a small town in North Carolina; seemingly infinite collaborators, but one staggering voice.
Consistent across the work is his assertion that the undefinable still exists and dwelling in it is an act of resistance.

Every once in awhile you come across music so good it's timeless. And that once in awhile is like finding a 13th floor in a hotel. I'd gladly book room 25.

Just the kind of gentle soundtrack I need when I am doing simple repetitive manual tasks. Impossible to decide on a favourite track because they are all wonderful.
