Helena Hello from the room, where I’m selling my clothes I’d steal light from the sun, and you’d still not approve Pushing the ground so my feet finally moved I was never as big as the world I keep in touch with my man down the hall Who’s been pining for days at the loss of his soul He was caught up in the laughter of moons We were never as big as the world Stealing the coins from the pockets of fools Exchanging of hands where the riddles are gold Laughter, a currency we’ll never afford You were never as big as you were told Seeing yourself through the waves of farewell Where once you were them but now cannot tell Being unsure of who are now The world is a liar, the stars are a must The world is a liar, the stars are a must The world is a liar, the stars are a must The world is a liar, the stars are for us Field Painting Music/Kobalt

about

The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania is Damien Jurado’s first release on his own label, Maraqopa Records. The album contains ten intense stories of people determined not to be broken by dire circumstances. The self-produced album is sonically among Damien Jurado’s most exposed, homespun ambiance and inspired by the dry sound of records like Lou Reed’s The Bells and Paul McCartney’s Ram. Jurado creates his own Twilight Zone, “a middle ground between light and shadow”, a dimension of imagination, of half-remembered dreams and people reaching out to cross into that liminal space between heartbreak and wholeness. Jurado knows the territory well and knows the secret words to whisper at the right time. “All is not lost/Even if you’re without a direction.” “Just stick around till the light pushes into the darkness,” Damien promises - or admits - Press your eye to the speaker, tune your ear to the horizon.
