Is it good? Yes. Duh! It’s an Ecid album.
Should you buy it? Yes. Again, this an Ecid album. Stop asking stupid questions. From the permatripper savants to the industrial post-rap kids, there’s another undiscovered gem for us to bump together. Just because school started again doesn’t give us the excuse to sleep on this one Favorite track: Elusive Zen.

Anyone else notice the lyrics of Brainless are slightly different than the track? It's funny actually. I wonder if it's like a Easter egg or something.
Favorite track: Whatever Heals You.

(Intro)
1-800-Zen Repair!
1-800-Zen Repair!
These luxury fucks don't ride the bus
They glide through time and try to hide from us
Behind the kinda mask that'll blind your trust
Im invisible until the need to find some drugs
frequently asked to rig a magic 8-ball
As Im actually willing to take calls
Just gotta give it one good bump from my knuckle quick
Job done gotta go you know how the hustle is
Bring me where the trouble lives
Where you can buy and sell your soul for the fun of it
And witness freedom thriving til the cops come and shut this shit
Down to my last fuck given ridden the air of your aura
sorta sad I mean that all seems normal
When escaping a formal invitation to fuck off
Im no math whiz but I bet your one off
Ice in my veins helps wash all this sun off
(Hook)
1-800-Zen Repair!
1-800-Zen Repair!
1-800-Zen Repair!
Suddenly never stressed bend the air with every step (x2)
(Verse 2)
Constructs build character and imminent threats
Your face went cinnamon red when given a hex
Stairway to spinning my head
Missed some critical steps I like my witchcraft in limited reps
To the untrained cyborg your a fucking legend
Got a plan for every day don't call me til 11
Got nothing to confess that wasn't already digested
Consultations are free not open to suggestions
Who forgot to feed these war mongers coconuts?
They're too thirsty now everybody's going nuts
Oh shucks don't touch send the phone lines are blowing up
A whole town of earless monsters demanding to know whats up
Mastering the art of public bickering
One twitter rant away from nuclear wintering
No one can agree to disagree on how their differing
MUTE EVERYTHING buy some land and kill your king
(Hook)
1-800-Zen Repair!
1-800-Zen Repair!
1-800-Zen Repair!
Suddenly never stressed bend the air with every step (x2)

(Hook 1)
I don't feeling anything
I don't feeling anything...
I don't feel anything
Still don't feel anything
I don't feel anything
But Im feeling awesome
I don't feel anything
Still don't feel anything
I don't feel anything
But Im feeling fucking great!
I may not know what its doing
But either way I know its an improvement
I may not know what its doing
But either way I know its an improvement
|||VERSE 1|||
I was looking for something to fill the holes in my head
Cant believe this is real Im never leaving my bed
intervening routines Im never grieving again
Looting my ambition theres no need to Contend
"Comprende" Some friends say this is crazy talk
Pretend they Want head space Embracing Lazy plots
All your fears disappear in a series of drops
It feels weird til the tears hit your ears with a pop
Got reincarnated as cardboard cut out of a tree
Some dog ate my knees now Im one with the leaves
just dunked from the top of the key with no legs
It was a long way down but worth the whole day
Its all sunshine and psychedelic bouquet 's
Lab tested perfection with no co-pay
Its been a pleasure Watching my ego evaporates
Bye bye emotional wall - hard to be mad today
(Hook 1)
I don't feeling anything
I don't feeling anything...
I don't feel anything
Still don't feel anything
I don't feel anything
But Im feeling awesome
I don't feel anything
Still don't feel anything
I don't feel anything
But Im feeling fucking great!
I may not know what its doing
But either way I know its an improvement
I may not know what its doing
But either way I know its an improvement
||| VERSE 2 |||
You're gonna write your first novel in one sitting
Fuck it your done living had enough spinning
In one place for the umpteenth time its unfitting
Don't let the wonder why's get in the way of Us winning
Gone are the days of screaming at bumper to bumper traffic
Feel free to reserve those little curses for the worst of the batches
Flirting with madness never felt so fucking close to magic
Its wrong in a way when your luck runs out and you cant fix all your habits
I get it Self care's expensive those membership's adds up
Wasn't aware I might be spending every last buck
And Wouldn't dare to have to ask friends to borrow cash but
this is a once in a lifetime cant pass up
Plus you don't need any money when your enlightened
Everything's on the house - heres another round of lightning
Exciting I know
Try to get home
at decent time slot
....This evening Im god
(Hook 1)
I don't feeling anything
I don't feeling anything...
I don't feel anything
Still don't feel anything
I don't feel anything
But Im feeling awesome
I don't feel anything
Still don't feel anything
I don't feel anything
But Im feeling fucking great!
I may not know what its doing
But either way I know its an improvement
I may not know what its doing
But either way I know its an improvement

Scumbag Accounting

|
(Verse 1)
Fuck these blood suckers
They can get citronella'd
I'm just Dancing in the rain
With inverted Umbrellas
Converting a metaphorical wall into a region apart
My super powers that can't Read in the dark
Try try but theres a Shelf life on fucks given and received
Living on the run didn't even need to eat
Some divvy there limits based on calculated risk
Some bribe critics for top billing on their most hated list
The devil has a gang of lawyers on payroll
Good thing we're on a first name basis in pesos
Happy holidays holidays from scum bag accounting
Must brag or die doubting
Drowning in a "make it rain" montage
Involuntarily hodge-podged with hot sauce
Massaging your soft spot for green goblins
I don't bleed often but when I do
I get a Dos Equis transfusion and we're thru
(Hook)
If the futures a bust
At least we'll know how to manage
Middle fingers up
Like you wouldn't understand it (x2)
Gotta flow
Gotta feel
Like I know
How to deal (x2)
(Verse 2)
My blood is mostly Minnesota lakes
Mixed with sins, rage and a little give and take
I meant to cast a vote
But Im exercising my right to flake
Tell the mob back off have a nice day
How bout Arms length ?
Reduce the harm due
Stay Far removed from your charred youth
Nice labyrinth
Next time buy a farm dude
In 30 years we'll probably be barn food
Why do we idolize terrible people?
cuz we wanna do terrible shit too
Round of applause for the terrible horrible human
That spiked the tiramisu
This must be shrooms
Trust me dude I love me too
Its disgustingly true
Discussing the news with the elderly
While seldomly,
has to rank near top of most frustrating conversations
you'll have but never get a Chance to talk
(Hook)
If the futures a bust
At least we'll know how to manage
Middle fingers up
Like you wouldn't understand it (x2)
Gotta flow
Gotta feel
Like I know
How to deal (x2)

I'M OKAY
02:40
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Everything can get broken down into its simplest form
Sometimes I grow angel wings sometimes I grow thorns
Sometimes I feel like a king sometime I feel like a broken door
Shutting from the nudging of a tropical storm
Who'd a thunk it, its the first ever category 5
Run the numbers we're so lucky to be alive
I've been stuck on this beat all summer
sensory overload single speed beach bummer
Feeling exiled on Decatur and Nick
Emotional Kamikaze and a painter of myths
Syndicating all these phrases from the brain to distant
future I can't forecast no escaping this shit
You can wave that magic wand all you want
But that precious placebo needs more cowbell
This couch smells like a dog with no manners
Don't matter still gotta rest my soul this towns hell
(Hook)
If seldom seen
Tell the team
Im Okay
I got lost in my dreams
And sleep walk through the day (x2)
(Verse 2)
discretely dissecting the energy you radiate
No judgement just something to pass the clock then aviate
Been ready to go since day 1 but they made me wait
Its the politics involved in all things that they made me hate
Sifting through a mountain of resistance
Its a dick move to excuse dick moves as just business
But I guess thats your business
I still have my reasons to doubt your mental fitness
We all can't be rocket scientists
Here's a round on the house for all the rebels trying to live
Outside the margins just past the finish line
Where ego's go to die, isn't it divine?
Sublime intervention hard headed cuz I know better
Plant your flag near the sun maybe it'll grow better
Go getter's all I know slowing down no never
Don't need to set goals just go til the gold's treasure
(Hook)
If seldom seen
Tell the team
Im Okay
I got lost in my dreams
And sleep walk through the day (x2)

Whatever Heals You
02:52
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
I struggle with the concept of anxiously
watching a screen to feel whole
I feel dead
Don't you?
Old news maybe
Who doesn't feel crazy
We've earned it
Like a bullet from a past we cant Bury deep
So many years of Therapy
And shared defeat
Equal sign Graveyard
Wouldn't dare to breed
Channeling the ghosts of Cherokee
Cherish peace
Inherit keepsakes hold tight til they bury me
Half alive cant survive Without a chemical imbalance
Just one of our many Talents
Just one of our many ways to say fuck you very much
Its okay we don't talk we don't chat we don't barely touch
The mode of control is hopelessness
Hoping no one notices
these hostesses are clowns and clones
So over it
My focus is cobra kiss
Taking over on some Roman shit
Put it on my tab Whatever the total is
(Hook)
It's hard to not feel manipulated
Its hard to not feel duped
Maybe this is simulated
Whatever heals you (x2)
(Verse 2)
Sad bastard til he found four chan
Now he's outsourcing foreskin memes and more scams
Some of us paint some of us write fight scenes for fortunes
We couldn't spend in 10 life spans
Flawed species Lost a lot of z's
jaws repeats still watching dvd's
Locked out on the street Didn't Copy all the keys
Shot a man and a mom cold blooded atrocity
Like nobodies watching me -
let me exercise my desire to hate
Got a fire to make
Retire the faith in tired mistakes
rewire your tired face
Conspire with a higher place
And Justify expired tastes
Bandana on Vagabond gone gunnin'
Son of Santa con got the wrong god summoned
Stashes amazon saves the bomb for moms lunches
Happy-sad-a-thon capes is on wrong button
(Hook)
It's hard to not feel manipulated
Its hard to not feel duped
Maybe this is simulated
Whatever heals you (x2)

Mind Controll For Sport

(Hook)
Are you susceptible to mind control?
One click and mine to own
Are you susceptible to mind control?
One click and mine to own
How much would you pay to stay eternally present?
My minds a never ending loop of second guesses
How much would you pay to stay eternally present?
My minds a never ending loop of second guesses
I keep a flip phone zipped up in a distant zip code
cant escape every citizens bitch mode
disco ball in the kitchen religion for skitso's
Used to flip O's now I flip flows
My minds a safe house for the strange and deranged doubts
Haunting each and every impulse
The skin cringes as the sins sulk
Its a blissful vintage feeling your limbs pulse
Best of luck exploiting my interests
All your gonna find is a booby trapped Pinterest
Im all in on this Off the grid shit
Don't call again Im not talking politics
Bunch of "loser of the month club" alumni's
Thinking there street smart more like "Bud Wise"
Bloody eyed bandit lusting for dumb highs
Go get a couple 6 packs and come by
(Hook)
Are you susceptible to mind control?
One click and mine to own
Are you susceptible to mind control?
One click and mine to own
How much would you pay to stay eternally present?
My minds a never ending loop of second guesses
How much would you pay to stay eternally present?
My minds a never ending loop of second guesses
Its okay caveman
The games on - all you needs a fresh spray tan
Conceal those feelings behind some ray-bans
We thought of everything dialed up escape plans
Suited to your limited skill set
Sit back and chill keep swimming in pill sweat
Your thing already happened made prisons and silhouettes
Chiseled dicks out of dog shit and killed the rest
So go ahead bang your chest and scream gibberish
Nobody gives a shit as long as you give em clicks
Who needs god when you've got Netflix
Trust our suggestions for the best of the bestest
Per your request we put a hex on todays hoax
Gotta make way for the latest in fake hope
One mans scam another mans scapegoat
Don't forget your cape bro!
(Hook)
Are you susceptible to mind control?
One click and mine to own
Are you susceptible to mind control?

Lifetime Contract
03:37
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
No longer beholden to emboldening angst
Stash Under the mattress I don't go to the bank
Cant make a move Without unfolding a face
Like Going through the maze without a local to chase
Osmosis robbed us of free will
Take me to your leader I need a free refill
possessed by cheap thrills and restless nights
Feeling Forced to take dead end jobs we'll never like
Pretty sure my calls still get recorded and saved for later
never snorted lines I just served em for financial favors
Nature vs niche Better stick to your niche
Haters gotta eat Poison the source Count the clicks
Just a cheat code away from legendary status
Solitary at my worst - lightning rod at my baddest
Wandering cemetery's looking for my missing package
I got baggage to bury with loads of emotional damage
(Hook)
yeah yeah yeah
Signed a lifetime contract to keep it real as fuck
yeah yeah yeah
Sometimes you gotta burn it down just to build it up (x2)
(Verse 2)
I used to be inspired by the shiny signs and the grandiose
Now I capture light bulb moments unprovoked
Theres no alcohol related revelations to note
at best you'll collect shitty mornings and dummer jokes
Seasonal depression's a bummer but I Ignore it
Sativa's in my blood equal optimal performance
Enormous ambitions fit perfectly in my orbit
Real life Im a wolf NBA jam Im a hornet
no harm in endorsing utopian concepts
Better to shoot for the sun than dismiss progress
Nothing beats a good defense like a Cryptic offense
Game over like a zombie at a brain eating contest
Head honcho of nothing ganja gonzo
Duped by the fumes of composted convos
Hooray for squatters rights this is my condo
Occupy my middle finger and watch the con grow
(Hook)
yeah yeah yeah
Signed a lifetime contract to keep it real as fuck
yeah yeah yeah
Sometimes you gotta burn it down just to build it up (x2)
(Verse 3)
a younger me would greatly appreciate
If people would stop telling me I need to gain some weight
Just because someones skinny doesn't mean they aren't affected
By insensitive projections - Let me guess you don't see shapes
Or the size of a fist when it blasts through your temple
you can buy a bag But cant cover Incidentals
Hit some levels incremental ghost riding In a rental
Like wow I love San Fransisco but its Sacramento
Its all sacrilege I need a couple acid trips To manage this
Rap to live or live to rap and never have to ask for shit
Im no Biff Tannen never Crashed into shit
Only Exist in a space where loves the sole catalyst
I think about a lot of things some explicit some catastrophic
Learning how to walk away and save some cash for the coffin
blood sweat and tears Its just scraps in a closet
Our biggest flaw is getting too Attached to our losses
(Hook)
yeah yeah yeah
Signed a lifetime contract to keep it real as fuck
yeah yeah yeah
Sometimes you gotta burn it down just to build it up (x2)

(HOOK)
They treat us like we’re fucking brainless
At least we’re smart enough to know what we can Getaway with
There’s no difference between clocking in and living in cages
Im not a brand Im a man you can call me Jason (x2)
(Verse 1)
Don’t know how to write a love song or a club banger
I make observations to save myself from smug anger
Gotta get it off my chest or I’ll erupt later
Trading pep talks with my inner self for corrupt favors
We all find ways to adjust to new normals
Ignoring the true cost like “cool portal”
Hazmats on the dance floor never too formal
Beach bound til I spot a bloody pool of Dorsal’s
Pretending to be an adult is Mind melting fun
This world really wasn’t designed to help anyone
Gotta find a hack for every hack and try to get it done
detach from that passionless path and find a better one
There’s always a sale always a deal - don’t miss it
I finally understand why grown ups Go fishing NO KIDDING
no logos on my skin, no longer my religion
Don’t let some dumb ass control your decisions
(HOOK)
They treat us like we’re fucking brainless
At least we’re smart enough to know what we can Getaway with
There’s no difference between clocking in and living in cages
Im not a brand Im a man you can call me Jason (x2)
(Verse 2)
Its a process To process the problems we forage
I’ve got like 5 life times locked up storage
Like most chores we do our damnedest to ignore it
until enough’s enough and succumb to the forces
I’ve never fantasized the demise of my sources
But these guys at the top ain’t the priziest horses
Slowly but surely they grow to be more conformist
And Im all hands high
Anti corporate
I used to talk on the phone and loved it, so many discussions
Now I scream blood murder whenever it buzzes
Not sure what they did to us please get me off this substance
Here’s another pic of one of my favorite lunches
Lets Put a muzzle on these brand ambassadors
Fake travelers haven’t seen this massive earth
Love the bikini but can’t see me needing a catheter
Get your camera out, yeah Im pissing on your astro turf
(Bridge)
No one asked for 7 coffee shops on the same fucking block
But we got it everywhere
No one asked for 7 coffee shops on the same fucking block
But we got it everywhere
No one asked for 7 coffee shops on the same fucking block
But we got it everywhere - RIGHT HERE!
No one asked for 7 coffee shops on the same fucking block

Follow The Flames
02:43

|
(Verse 1)
So many games
Same old aim
Not a Household name
Just Molten flames
got art on my neck don't need a gold chain
Its hard to be smart when you don't really brain
Im watching the star while they do cocaine
Do you. I'll do me. No need to complain
Just keep it real and I'll keep it the same
Im at the wheel but I, swerving with the waves
Channeling my inner zen
Battling myself like - fuck it if I ever win again
Strategize my escape
And Fabricate new dimensions in the shape of A better friend
Cannabis to calm the vibe
Im content in my mind - I don't need Another high
My dreamscapes are wallet sized
Take a Dive and ride the wave til you crash and burn alive
(Hook)
Follow
I Follow
I Follow
I Follow
(Verse 2)
Heart still beats in a boom bap loop
Cant record Only time in a Bad mood
Your looking kinda sad Like a day two tattoo
Maybe take a stab at some new taboos
I'd have no complaints
If I was rich enough to
buy a time machine
and go mix shit up
I'd have no regrets
If I died in a gun battle
Defending the honor
of my love and my castle
Im pretty open to the concept of
Blaming your god for the things I cant blame on myself
But if being honest then I better come to terms with the reason
I don't believe in hell
Im just Looking for an easy sell
Talking sports with spirits the ouija dealt
Im tinfoil in a microwave all spark no bite wish me well
(Hook)
I just follow my instincts down to the t-shirt I don't wanna wear
Follow
I Follow
I Follow
I Follow
Another day another rabbit hole but I don't really care
Follow
I Follow
I Follow
I Follow
I just follow my instincts down to the t-shirt I don't wanna wear
Another day another rabbit hole but I don't really care
(Verse 3)
Im all about that run around the town without a plan shit
looks great on paper but disastrous in practice
I never planned to plant the tree that grew to shade my chances
Luck is just the bi product of showing up to canvas
I tried to buy the farm and all I gots this ant hill
allergic to the urge to let my dreams Stand still
My minds a force field modern weapons cant kill
I wish my retinas shot lasers and crashed through anvils
I bike around without a helmet cuz Im kinda stupid
But ride for the sake of feeling free so safety's not conducive
We're two 4 letters word away from being toothless
whats the use in arguing with justified excuses
I Fall a sleep on the floor with nuggets in the oven
It keeps us warm during those months of frozen abundance
programmed to care about the purpose more than the function
Got my Eyes on the pie in the face. A perfect introduction

(Verse 1)
Invincible to live with
And Impossible to kill
Got Trillions and trillions of siblings
Swimming at will
Delicious to fishes
Til We’re ripping through their gills
These Fidgeting idiots are Not permitted to chill
Part time Pacifier
Full time enabler
Brain in the cosmos
Shoulda stayed with earth
All These customers are fuck ups
Cant Escape the dirt
Piss and moan on their lonesome
Cant Find a way to flirt
Sit sit sit you’ve earned this round No need to cash out
Sip sip sip til the buzz goes blackout
Shit shit shit another 86’d to catch now
Bliss bliss bliss til you finally pass out
Stuck in the trash til Im free’d by the teeth of rodents
Public enemy number 1
Take me straight to the ocean
When it comes to the side effects
Best believe Im ghostin'
See you in a 1000 years
I’ll still be here floatin'
(Hook)
Take me home now
Take me home now
Take me home now
Don't take me home now (x4)
(Verse 2)
My whole existence is a catch 22
Stashed in a casket for 2 past sunny mood
Damned if ya do damned if ya cant sabotage your money too
Told me to hush just Act chummy with these bummie dudes
not exactly law abiding
Often hiding in between the lines
Trading vices for vices til we receive the signs
You know it when you see it
Feels like freedom by design
Conceived in a dream state
Competing with time
Some inventions don't exactly
have the best intentions
Its all dollar signs
And hollowed out commencements
These Creature comforts somehow Columbine’d Connections
Demons feasting on details friending for attention
Lucky for me I can survive with zero vitamins and minerals
These clinical cannibals will happily cannonball your physical
The Cause and effect is mostly subliminal
Just Consume! Thats your purpose
you worthless little criminal
(Hook)

Take me home now
Don't take me home now (x4)

Elusive Zen
03:04
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Devoted mostly to only the loneliest emotions
Holds bogus motives bout To Cozy quick with Explosives
Dog and pony chauvinist Cloned with a Potent mix of doses
Disregard the boasting They’re phony rich for promotion
Clashing with closeness Attracted to loathing
Your not half in the bag You just mastered the moment
Fugitive status savagery for the Dramatic closing
Fantasizing the demise of a past life’s opponent
Not withholding eroded hopes and Frozen momentum
Scared to tell the truth even though it wont offend em
Overthrowing agenda’s accepting memento’s as ransom
Prone to tantrums Never should of told us we were handsome
There’s levels to this Develry
Hell will be waiting patiently with felony revelry
Stop selling me your elementary weaponry
Next destination better be where Serenity’s the melody
(HOOK)
We’re just Bazaar little scared humans
Chiseled outta start dust and charred ruins
Fearful of a Future as an apathetic Barred mutant
burning down our own house can’t Charge us with looting (x2)
(Verse 2)
Dear elusive Zen, your my truest friend I meant it
You keep me sharp enough to slice through cement with my genetics
It shouldn’t take a mastermind to find contentment
I’ve accepted burning out but don’t wanna die like Lennon
Keeps the secrets deep in an unassuming tool
Signed away the deed to a dungeon full of ghouls
We got everything you need except a deity of fools
When the mission’s achieved go and summon me a jewel
Somebody numb to slumber so I can run with the thunder
Exist in infinite summers dismiss definitive bummers
Petition primitive thinkers to tinker in tongues til my dishes can huuver
Commission mystics to switch statistics and ditch the numbers
Heartbreaks a hell of a thing to wake up and vanquish
Call maintenance save face with self love its thankless
On a life long quest to heal its best to deal with changes presented
With flagrant awareness and a taste of pavement
(HOOK)
We’re just Bazaar little scared humans
Chiseled outta start dust and charred ruins
Fearful of a Future as an apathetic Barred mutant
burning down our own house can’t Charge us with looting (x2)
(Outro)
Got my forcefield on now Im ready to go (x4)

(Verse 1)
I hold my breathe on bridges but Im not superstitious
Im superficial when commuting through lunar eclipses
Uber rich is not the mission its a stupid sickness
Maneuvering through glitches designed to pollute your picnic
Killer whale vicious Hail wicked witches
Pale bitter bitches Bail set at triple 6's
Ale to the sky cant deny our final wishes
Fail every time We try to subdivide our vision
Its okay we've got a difference in philosophy
Some wanna revolution some want monotony
We're not your property or your prophet machine
Try Pick pocketing god for the proper esteem
Never leave the house without arms length armor on
So Obsessed with Always trying to get that parmesan
Should probably stay inside And finally read Dharma bum's
before my karma's gone and the martians bomb
(Hook)
Thats the smell of squad cars burning (x4)
(Verse 2)
We get our financial advice on the Black market
Congrats on the jet too bad you cant park it
Sharks gonna shark your little hearts an easy target
These Narks need sharp objects through flesh regardless
Ease your mind with this neo-nihilist in training
Eat your vitamins rewind a bit its entertaining
Evil scientists don't Read the finer print its draining
Feed me violence That Creepy silence is sedating
Half wolf half digital relic in flames
Pass the blow torch and get in your lane
Its a hell of a game to play when your weapons are false idols
No Cults vital to survival just a shiny title
Grab a mirror its your Boogyman of the year
Dollar store angelic selling fabricated tears
Rejecting every desire attracted to your fears
Ratchet up the mass exodus and get the fuck out of here
(Hook)
Thats the smell of squad cars burning (x4)

This Guitar Was Stolen Along With Years Of Our Lives
by Ceschisupported by 32 fans who also own “ZEN REPAIR”
Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do. I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool. Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world.

Album of the year. In a fair and just world, they would be headlining festivals with this one. Big hooks. Vivid verses. Fingers-crossed, the instrumentals will get the vinyl treatment.

Eyedea: The Many Faces of Mikey
by Micheal Larsensupported by 23 fans who also own “ZEN REPAIR”
I have been listening to variations of this album a long time. I remember I was living in a cardboard dumpster when some young guy was like yo dude it's gonna rain come crash on my couch. He played The Many Faces of Oliver Hart for me. I fell in love, I set my favorite track as Rain because we looped it when the rain came. That was one of the early acts of kindness I received in the nearly 20 years I've been homeless.
