Memory of the Will

Lyrics:
You sit there in your chair, in the shadow
Watching me dance around the room for you
You ask me, "Where are you going, man?
I thought I had you wrapped around my finger."
All I've ever feared
Is it true what they say about you?
Maybe this isn't working, babe
Maybe we should throw in the towel, as they say
Ah, but I used to go kicking and screaming
Fighting for my will to believe
Now, I guess I'll drift into the ocean
Will I swim or drown, I do not know
All I've ever feared
Is it true what they say about you?
Do you recall the golden days?
I'm beginning to think they were never there
Like showing up for a party once it's over
Or turning on the radio to the end of your favorite song
Have I forgotten how to love you?
Or is there any love to remember?
All I've ever feared
Is it true what they say about you?
Or am I the one who needs to kneel?
Am I the one sitting in the chair?
Watching you dance around the room for me
Leaving you, into the ocean

Lyrics:
I talk about it, even though I don't want you to think that I'm afraid
I hear about it, but that don't mean I feel something to make me understand
Just look the other way
Just look the other way, just look the other way
When I die, am I gonna float into the sky, like some kind of feather in the wind?
Or will it be like, turning all the lights off, nothing going on, no one there to say I love you to
Just look the other way
Just look the other way, just look the other way
I was not cuckold by that; I was gonna be self-examining
I was not hung up by that; I was gonna be world-transforming
But I was not afraid, and now I am afraid
I had some certainty, and now insecurity
Can you breathe some hope into this place?
Just breathe some hope into this place
So I can see that you are here
I want to see that you are here

Hollow Glass

Lyrics:
I knew this day was coming,
but I thought it’d never be here
Like a character in a movie
you know is gonna die, but you hope he doesn’t die
All these years I’ve been afraid
of the image of you in the door
I picture myself sitting here,
or lying on the floor
Is it easy for you to go?
I’m giving you that look again,
begging you for more
If you gaze upon my naked skin,
you’ll see I’m bare to the core
Did the dream die with your word?
Did I have reason to be scared?
I bared it all to you, my friend;
Will you tell me how I fared?
I can be your hollow glass
but please
Please

The Hour, a poem

The poem:
It's getting late...like they say
The hour is coming
I don't want you to stay
The hour is coming...It's coming.
No need to be polite
No need to stay the night
Depart from me...Depart from me
Throw in the towel. Go ahead.
Drift away, passed where we met.
Swim on out to the deep.
Mind not the return.
It's not that I don't love you.
It's not that I don't care.
The hour is coming.
Face the abyss
Challenge its integrity, if you dare
Will you trust me amid the darkness?
Will you trust me in my absence?
Go on. Leave.
See....See
See

Jack Holloway recommends:
Wede Harer Guzo
by Hailu Mergia
This might actually be my favorite record ever. Angelic and super chill, it is great for conjuring zen and relaxing your mind. Mergia is a prolific genius and a master of melody.
go to album
Easily the best album of 2021. Full of thumping beats, sky-reaching guitar solos, and sweet melodic flows, this Nigerian jazz-funk fusion record is an instant classic.
go to album
Minimalist and lo fi, this album still looms large. Prince-like, Strafe-like, yet totally unique. With banger after banger, it is groovy af and will have you dancing a jig anywhere you listen to it.
