Words and music by Mark Kozelek:

No this is not my guitar

I'm bringing it to a friend

And no I don't sing

I'm only humming along

Up here in the air

I'm just mumbling at the clouds

Wanting to be known

While I pass the lonely hours

I came down from the moon

I saw you in the rain

Laughing with some people

Hair dripping down your face

Your calm hypnotic eyes

With Scandinavian glow

I felt you like a flame

Kindling my cold bones

Tonight you were my muse

As I built it and I strung

Trying not to drown

In the helicopter alone

Alesund

Alesund

From the crowd I heard

You sing a pretty line

Was it there so much love

That I wanna cry

I thought about it long

Had you repeat it in my ear

I couldn't place it though

But loved you being so close

I should've played it then

From the intro to the end

When they offered me the stage

At the bar we landed in

But I turned and walked

Away from all the fun

And back into the black

Seaside night of Alesund

Alesund

1 dislike? How could there even be one. Thats appalling. These melodies, rhythms, lyrics, unique lower tunings... Come on. This is some of the most real music played today in this shit music generation.

Listening to this now more than 3 years after I was first introduced to Mark's music through Admiral Fell Promises in january 2011. So strange, back then hearing its eerie first lines 'no it's not my guitar, I'm bringing it to a friend' how could I imagine what a profound impact this record would be on me. it made me take up classical guitar and start writing my own songs. I listen to AFP way more rarely these days but I'm still so grateful to Mark for this masterpiece.

This first note he plays @ 0:38 reminds me of Dragonflies... Maybe the same key... Also 1 or two seconds before it you can hear a higher note, also reminds me of Dragonflies. Mark is pure genius!
