about

This is a companion song to another called "Sorry, Sam" which was written earlier as an antidote to the smooth, simple, loveliness of Sam Cooke; that song is purposely cumbersome and sterile. This song is not. Hopefully it honors Sam's style.

This song was finished on December 19th, 2015

lyrics

Are you around, can you spare a minute or ten?
Are you in town, can you hire the crier then?
Promptly alert me for this message I cannot stall,
I wanted you if only for the fall

I know you’re busy, your tone betrays the stress
I know your troubles, they grow as days progress
But if you’ve a moment, I mustered up the gall (to tell you that)
I wanted you if only for the fall

I wanted you if only for the fall
As much of summer as autumn could recall
Just to have this something beats having none at all
I wanted you if only for the fall

Maybe you’ve seen them but my cards aren’t that far from my chest
My hand was something but the dealer held most of the rest
My suits were a secret but the chips now are all ‘bout to fall (so let me tell you something)
I wanted you if only for the fall

I wanted you if only for the fall
As much of summer as autumn could recall
Just to have this something beats having none at all
I wanted you if only for the fall

about

Plumes image

Plumes Boston, Massachusetts

Plumes is Ben Long (on the drums!) Tim Green and John Thorsen. Music- listening to it, learning to play it, writing more of it- has been one of few things we've taken really seriously for the last 7 years. These songs grew through many late nights and missed appointments. Our songs are all really about something. It's sincere and sometimes naked. Hope you like it ... more
