As Baudelaire said 'to be away from home and yet to feel oneself everywhere at home; to see the world, to be at the centre of the world, and yet to remain hidden from the world.'
@@federicobejarano3043 it is from his essay, The Painter of Modern Life, describing an artist flaneur. Seems to capture what it’s like to live a city which isn’t the one you grew up in. More of the passage here: courses.nus.edu.sg/course/elljwp/Baudelaire%20on%20the%20flaneur.htm Well worth reading the full essay too, it’s not that long.
You, you can come with me Pointing to my home away from home Now every twinking light that's in the sky By looking up when you need to know You will see that from looking, looking up You will be able to do it again Home away from home, home away from home, home away from home The rest is in the center It comes to take you up in the treetops You can come with me Pointing to my home away from home ....crossing, crossing through But every twinking light that's in the sky But every twinking light that's in the sky But every twinking light that's in the sky The birth of the moment Is never ending Home away from home, home away from home Home away from home, home away from home The rest is in the center It comes to take you up in the treetops You can come with me Pointing to my home away from home
in terms of demeanor, style uniqueness, even down to their voice, I feel like Arthur Russell and Nick Drake were probably kindred spirits. and both gone too soon.

I just discovered the music of Arthur Russell.
LOVE IT!
You, you can come with me
Pointing to my home away from home
Now every twinking light that's in the sky
By looking up when you need to know
You will see that from looking, looking up
You will be able to do it again
Home away from home, home away from home, home away from home
The rest is in the center
It comes to take you up in the treetops
You can come with me
Pointing to my home away from home
....crossing, crossing through
But every twinking light that's in the sky
But every twinking light that's in the sky
But every twinking light that's in the sky
The birth of the moment
Is never ending
Home away from home, home away from home Home away from home, home away from home
The rest is in the center
It comes to take you up in the treetops
You can come with me
Pointing to my home away from home
What is it about?
Too bad he was ahead of his time! RIP.
What an amazing track. Slackers remix is equally stunning!

I hear it too
Agreed
I think the cello and as you say the vocal quality and spirit make this a good observation
WOW!
Never commented in 15 year of youtube's existence, but this song is plaintively pining for a Tool cover.
That would be pretty insane
andy stott remix in the pipeline
SketchyNick just released!
Now released as a Limited 7” white label bundled with the first press of his new album.
2021
Reminds me of Anthony and the Johnsons, the voice.
Slacker - come with me
Chello?
yes
