Try to get the colours right
And I'll paint you face she said
Cos life is on the outside babe
And you got to try and get it right

Buy a ten-dollar camera
Take a picture of everyone
Cos people change
Yeah they change
Changing everyday

And I don't want to be the one that you don't recognise
I don't want to be the one that's left behind

Got a broken car yeah got a selfish heart
Running down the road
With a jukebox in my head
Funny how I got to here
I don't remember how
I just want to live somewhere where the air is sweet and clear

And I don't want to be the one that you don't recognise
I don't want to be the one that's left behind

Slowdive, Mojave 3 ??  Very different sound, but Neil is integral to both.

FFS!  there must be no songwriters in Britain then.  This is rubbish, as is everything of his that I have heard.

Hadn't heard this before.  Immediately thought it was Iron and Wine.

Random thought: This is one of three albums whose title starts with the word Oh.  The others being Oh! Gravity by Switchfoot and Oh, Inverted World by the Shins. 

You're welcome.

I don't care if he's new or not. I like his style.  Very gentling in this tornado-world. {#Sunny}

FYI - This is the guy from Mojave 3. He is not a "new" artist.

Elliot Smith crossed with Nick Drake? Pleasing to the ear.
