i've got a box that is labeled
"don't look at these"
its filled with old pictures of you and our memories
and pictures of an old head wound i received
documented for police
now i sit here all night
and i throw little things at the wall
its been quite some time
since anything's stuck at all
i'm such a waste
broken legged wild animal
all of the traces are now barely visible
my mind erases you
i keep on tracing you
won't you sing back the tune?
why do i bother you?
you were so nice
now you won't even answer to plea's
i was so strong
but now look at me down on my
i had a vice
and now its become everything
i had a voice
but now no one's listening
now i sit here all night
and i throw little things at the wall
it's been quite some time
since anything's stuck at all
i'm such a waste
broken legged wild animal
all of the traces are now barely visible
my mind erases you
i keep on tracing you
won't you sing back the tune?
why do i bother you?

Had the pleasure of helping produce this lovely record. Julian's music is perfect for a sunny morning or afternoon in your pajamas. If you like Paul Simon, Sufjan or Cat Stevens - give it a spin. Will Mitchell
This album and Semi-Rose are both must-listens. Offbeat, colorful, and true. The music is catchy and perfect for fans of interesting vocals such as Eels, Modest Mouse, and Pixies. Will Mitchell
Will has developed his own style through the years, but he's had a sound since the first time I met him - and it continues to this day. For fans of Father John Misty, Lord Huron, and Tom Petty. Will Mitchell
“Write The Soil Lighter” is full of beguilingly mysterious folk-adjacent music, shrouded in shadow and atmospherics. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2023
