THIS ALBUM has it’s place for me this summer. Yet, SUMMER albums for me are not what they used to be. Sure, I will get back into my Blue Rodeo laments. I’ll tap the Van Morrison into the six pack cd changer, and last week I took Yorn’s latest for a spin.
Maybe I’m too busy , maybe I want to dig deeper into heartbreak. Maybe it’s easier to sing the blues
Maybe as Yorn sings in Paradise Cove ” I got what I wanted and It’s never enough, And that could be bad for us both” Yeah that’s the one for me.
Relationships are at the heart of this record. On the track Close and the more uptempo Last Summer Yorn yearns for the newness of an old relationship. but so do we all.
Listen this is not a rock record. In fact it simmers, but there is plenty of passion. Long Time Nothing New is the prime example. It’s the good downer stuff. Plenty of imagery swashes and drifts.
Just let your mind take over on a long drive.
Heck, if your really thinking about the one that got away Don’t Wanna Cry will take you out to that sea of heartbreak.
Look it’s like this. “Same old town, Loose ends surround me, Always drags you down”..That’s Yorn talking baby, but he’s in the ballpark
