Damien Jurado: Museum Of Flight

I feel like I’ve been a fan for so long, there’s barely anything left for me to say about Damien Jurado. Every time he releases an album, current me and 16 year old me are united by excitement. “Museum Of Flight”, from upcoming album Maraqopa, showcases the man’s undeniable talent for finding melody. I’ve listened to it over a dozen times in the last 18 hours. This record, like the last one, was a collaborative effort with the remarkable Richard Swift. Preorder the album and catch him on the road.

“Falling to the ground I was anxious to be found. You can always go home to the safety of your clothes. Don’t let go, I need you to hang around. I’m so broke and foolishly in love. I turned around to love revealing. What did I learn? It’s not that easy, when you get burned, to go on burning loud. Falling into sound, is that love still fading by, one day we will go home to the safety of our house. Don’t let go, I need you to hang around. I’m so broke and foolishly in love. I turned around, my love was changing. What did I learn? It’s not that easy to go on burning loud.”

As usual, my apologies for any misheard lyrics.
