a metaphor for nothing much. push-button marionette. let the sermon crawl into the sack and see it sink. colour coding falling sky - it looked a lot like scars; slits across a heaviness, emptiness vast. well you know when sometimes you see a thump of gold attack the sheen of a posh high rise block build, or you hear the sound of a sad bell tower clock galloping across a grey slate stone, gone. look out through the nails of rain to see the traffic dance, just the same as cannon fire in double time on screen. sunken eyes on the tube as metal echo man. thin edge of the wedge - brand spanking new. a broken obelisk of top notch beauty pageant fails or the flailing sails of a galley going deep. keep the change, fold the face... our dead queen. customer satisfied, unfurl flag. nothing's only as it seems. be the bigger man and be the damn fool. downpours of applause.

Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do.
I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool.
Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world. oldtruck
