about

The final episode of "the invisible revolution". I release them as they are completed not as the narrative unfolds. In this episode Doninick is an old man. A homeless man. He returns to his shack in the woods and prepares for his final mission. Sometimes you don't have anything left in you- but with that nothing still create miracles. I wrote this song one December when I didn't know how to continue. I wrote it to create a dream for myself of a world where hope existed.

lyrics

I Pull my red trousers on
I'm surprised to find that they still fit
So much has happened this year
I thought I might have grown a little bit.
I pull my big red coat on
I find the pockets are full of little things
That I thought I wouldn't need anymore
Wrapping paper
scissors and strings
I pull my old black boots on
I fasten them up tight against the snow
even old boots can keep your feet warm
when you're standing in the gutter
and I , I should know.
That there's no bad children
there's just hard times,
degradation, poverty and crime.
I keep that truth, fixed in my mind
That there's no bad children there's just hard times
I pull my old red hat on
outside the world feels like
that first night long ago
when I first began this sleigh ride
I grab the reigns and I whisper "lets go!"
there's no bad children
there's just hard times,
degradation, poverty and crime.
I keep that truth, fixed in my mind
That there's no bad children there's just hard times.

graveyard of burnt out cars
by a lazarus soul

i love the lyrics, i love the tunes. There's an aesthetic here too that's both quintessentially Dublin and yet refers to great international music. I think B became a master with this. Seán Millar | All is Leaf | Doctor Millar

Field Songs

I love his voice and the chord and melodic progressions. I love the production. I love many of his records, but this is really a masterpiece I feel. His choice of covers is always impeccable. Seán Millar | All is Leaf | Doctor Millar
