Shipwreck Man
(Andrew Combs, Kenny Childers)
Tunes of R and T Direct / Chunk of Coal Publishing (SESAC) / Broadripple Nightclubs Music (ASCAP)
The mirror in the hall's given up the ghost
But it’s never been my mind that I miss the most
The stars dress the wind and they’re in my clothes
Am I gone for good?
Shipwreck man with a shaky hand
No anchor to the world, no sight of dry land
Shipwreck man, falling out of view
Once I saw the future, now the future don’t last
How can you move forward if you can’t look back
The mirror in the hall is broken and black
Am I gone for good?
Shipwreck man with a shaky hand
No anchor to the world, no sight of dry land
Shipwreck man, falling out of view
Shipwreck man with a shaky hand
No anchor to the world, no sight of dry land
Shipwreck man, falling out of view
Tell me, am I gone
Tell me, am I gone
Tell me, am I gone for good?
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
A vibrant vision of "Central Americana" from the Costa Rica-based artist, blending heartland devotionals with playful Tropicália grooves. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2022
He is masterful on the piano. Robert Ellis writes songs that grab your attention and are very well written and often times catchy and witty. I love the fact he mostly used the piano on this one. I wish more artists followed this pattern. Yimmy Kil
