sean rowe “spiritual leather”
from: madman, 2014
“Toes that dent the sand
Melancholy feelings
I am still your man
Feeling is believing
Wars come into my dreams
They needle me awake.
Ooh the road is long
And wider than forever
I hope we’re that strong
Spiritual leather.
Time, she was never such a friend
She never cried for me.
Time, she was never such a friend
She never waits for me.
What is the answer to every question
What is the reason for every direction
If we burn the answer for our protection
Would that be ok?
The sun is filled of lies
Promises and laughter
Now I can’t be that wise
But I have seen the after.
Slow, slow, that mamma down,
I wanna get back home,
Slow, slow that mamma down,
I gotta get back home.
What is the answer to every question
What is the reason for every direction
If we burn the answer for our protection
Would that be ok?”
This song just glows with “it.” Mr. Rowe in a most empathetic, caretaking, baritone voice. The beautiful concept of spiritual leather, brimming with the strength of steel. And the completely adorable melody that drapes itself around the song. Sean is a naturalist who knows how to stay alive if he was stuck in the woods. It can be done if you know what you’re doing. If you know what you are doing imagine how much more is possible. Spiritual leather could be how you stay alive in the woods of time.
