about
A dark song about a man obsessed with his dominatrix. The menacing acoustic guitar and the swirling string section recall Leonard Cohen. The singular vocal delivery is strained and desperate as Maxwell delivers words from a man tormented by passion.
lyrics
Baby I’m a family man
I haven’t missed a day of work for thirty-five years
But if you look at me with those eyes again well I won’t go
You see right through
My lies and facades
You crack right down to the core of my life like a faultline
And I pay you for your time
And of course I come at the end
But what is spilling your seed on a motel room floor to true love
I’d slit my own throat
I’d murder my wife
I’d rob a fucking bank and I’d give it all to you if you asked nice
Chorus:
Baby for one hour a week
I’m someone that doesn’t have to speak
You light up corners of my soul
That I’d forgotten or I’d never known
I’m a big man around town they all know my name,
Handshakes and smiles as I glide through the day
But like a nightman in the daylight I got filth on the brain and it’s constant
I talk to my children say hello to my wife
They ask about my day but know nothing of my life
Because I’m only alive for an hour at a time then the time’s up
Chorus
I take off my clothes and I lay on the floor
I’m in the repose when she walks through the door
She puts a gag in my mouth and a belt around my throat and I’m helpless
When she bloodies my lips I can speak of romance
When there’s piss on my chest my heart beats so fast
And when she pulls on that belt and my eyes roll back then I know love
Chorus
Baby I’m a family man
I haven’t missed a day of work for thirty-five years
But if you look at me with those eyes again well I won’t go

I discovered Vera Ellen via an alert she is sharing a touring bill with Reb Fountain, so I had to check it out. Fell instantly in love with this sound. Each song sounds personal but not exclusive. I look forward to exploring the Bandcamp catalogue. tulianontroppo
Intimate and unique. This album plays well with a bottle of Syrah crunched up in your finest pair of headphones with candles lit in a steamy bubble bath. sig
Margo Price's latest album tackles loss, failure, and freedom over lush pop, psychedelic country, and rock arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 13, 2023
Irresistible classic country music abounds on “Listening To The Music,” full of lap steel, walking bass, and heartwarming melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 5, 2020
Powerful vocals and affecting lyrics, this is magnificent stuff. Thank you for sharing your art with us Reb!
Clearly, I am late to the party, but happy to be here now and will listen quietly from my corner so as not to break the spell. theUtmost
