Roger Heard you Come through my radio Sing my truth Back to me Never! Never did I walk alone Who I was Echoing back In the rhythm of rain On my city street Caught my reflection in a Store front window Move on! There’s no sense in throwing dimes Heard my thoughts Played through a tape delay That’s my life Heard in a grocery store My first divorce Sung by a choir Play on! “There’s no such thing as better days” Soon on screen Piercing the celluloid Play on! Why wait for them to change? Living life Left of the dial Damien Jurado – Field Painting Music/Kobalt Music

What Happened To The Class Of '65? I was behind the camera I was in the commercial Dying fast without consent Standing where the building collapsed First scene, drinking cola From a first class seat by a window A change of clothes Better fitting shoes Praying for a change in the weather Lucky break, I caught the replay “There’s never been a better time for saving” “You’ll be great, I’ll be watching side stage” “Send a self addressed stamped envelope..” Oh boy, I’ll be sleeping Slight delay “Call you later” Flight arrived Landing safely home “Caroline, I’ll be sleeping” Rain delay Could be better Sunday night Wishing you were home “Dear Dan, you can wake me anytime I am dreaming” “Know that I wish that you were home” I miss you Tacoma

Taped In Front Of A Live Studio Audience Lee drove me home Seven in the morning Must be at work by ten Rolling up her sleeves Kissing her children Wanting so badly to be asleep But the day has plans And you’re wanted upstairs “Who’s screaming at the top of their lungs?” “Well I don’t have time, and my patience is running thin!” Closing her eyes Seven in the morning Lee does her best to stay awake Leaning in the chair Our conversation Lingering above us like a cloud “Have we decided who’s picking up the kids after school?”

What Ever Happened Paul Sand? There was a time when I remembered everything she said Now I barely know at all Perhaps it’s age, or the state that my mind’s been in It’s so hard to tell these days I recall a table, her cigarette held out the window Blowing ashes on our clothes I lost feeling in my hands “Don’t forget I want my records back..” Stepping out of line at the supermarket checkout counter “Whatever happened to Paul Sand?” “My lord these days are strange, I don’t know who I am anymore” “..And why can I never find a pay phone?” “With my luck, I’d be kidnapped, make my escape, and get your answering machine” “It’s your turn to feed the meter” “Are you paying close attention?” Made the bed, and cut my hair today Replaced the light above the sink Drove myself to the grocery store Made it back just in time for the fights “Here’s the coat I made for Mrs Brown” “I met her son for the first time today” “You would like him, he’s a weatherman” “He is tall just like you” “..spent some years in Arizona” “Newly divorced, and starting over”

Reggae Film Star is Damien Jurado’s 18th full length studio album and the second on Maraqopa Records. 25 years since his debut album Waters Ave S. came out, Jurado is more prolific, driven and creative than ever. The twelve mystical songs on Reggae Film Star are gorgeously cinematic and feature a rich production and diverse sonic textures.
