Old Lost John: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

SHE WON'T LISTEN

Desire's like a loaded gun
Faith and trust is hard won
Her love is always on the run
And by now I swear I know the score
But she won't even listen anymore

How I tried to love her love her love her
Beneath the cloud that looms above her
In the end she ran for cover
By now I swear I know the score
But she doesn't even like me anymore

Comin' on too brave and bold
With more than a delicate heart can hold
I turned too hot and it turned her cold
By now I swear I know the score
But she won't even listen anymore

Still I think about her every day
My best chance ever thrown away
Did I approach her like a bird of prey
By now I swear I know the score
But she won't even talk to me no more

"This is a song that J Tillman or Richard Buckner would have been thrilled to have written/performed."
(Craig Bonnell, Swedes Please blog)

"Thunberg has this unique ubiquity gift allowing you to fly over the mediterranean and reaching the higher plains of Montana at the same time. This guy is the meeting of two genious artists, Leonard Cohen and Knut Hamsun... Sure, many of you will ban me forever to join together such talents opposed by history. But I hope listening to the following song Tomas recently published on his website will change your mind…"
