lyrics
My moods are conducted by the weather
So when it snows I tiptoe softly by your house
I know I’m always saying that I’m sorry
Though I’m never really sorry
I just mean I wish it didn’t hurt
If I was god, or the Wizard of Oz
I’d make you like me, just like me
Self-help’s no assistance
Faking notches on my bedpost
Won’t get myself distressed
Even John Major bagged a mistress
But my mother’s ringing thrice a week
Straight out worries not oblique
So I say I’ve been dating with Sandra and Deborah
Fictional all but it brightens up the call
Leave your job through the window
Leave your home through the floor
Crush up your SIM card gaffer tape the door
If I was god, or the Wizard of Oz
I’d make you like me, just like me
Cinema trips alone trudging home in the snow
Looking for a face in mirror that wasn’t my own
Constantly dreaming of floating up to the ceiling
But in the daytime pinned down by my duvet and my cat
Feeling the betrayal of friends busy off having children
When it’s me not calling back and it’s me that’s failing them
But I think you could change it all like a struck match or a phone call
If I was god, or the Wizard of Oz
I’d make you like me, just like me
This album by Kenyan electronic producer rPH and poet Kins of Spade reflects on the impact of religion in their lives and society. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2023
Upon first listen, the voice reminds me of Julia Holter (who I love!), but the arrangements are more organic. When the final track bowed out with a whisper, I was sad it was over. Lovely work. Soloman Tump
