Artificial Light

Taken from "Waved Out" 1998

"So the sign of coming events
Flickers with missing words
And the bright blue city where
My friend have played
Fades from the corner of an eye

Tell my foes I’m captain tonight
Tell my folks I’m dead
I don’t wanna see them

Artificial light – I’m clinging
Artificial light
And praying it won’t burn out
Artificial light"

A great minute of Robert Pollard acoustic wondery. As usual the lyrics will imbed themselves in your brain and before you know it you'll be humming and singing it for the next few hours/days or week. Have you noticed the Captain is dead again in this song?

This song is incredibly moving. That chord at the end...
