about
“Need Nothing” is a song about appreciating what you have instead of dwelling on what you don’t. Gratitude is reinforced by frequent reminders and practice– upon slowing down and zooming in to a brief moment of contentedness, the ordinary can reveal itself as extraordinary.
lyrics
No, I don’t need nothing,
no, nothing I don’t already hold.
O, whether tomorrow,
o, ever tomorrow uncontrolled.
One moment of deep repose—
a thick jungle of lawn between my toes,
a paper glider landing on my nose,
curling colors of a painted wing grow,
Until they fill they screen,
and draw me in
to a place unseen,
where I’ve always been,
To somewhere so serene,
complete within,
and evergreen.
When I want too much
of what I’ve missed
to be content
with what exists,
I must remind myself
to savor this wholeness.
No, I don’t need nothing,
no, nothing I don’t already hold.
O, whether tomorrow,
o, ever tomorrow uncontrolled.

I had the pleasure of co-producing ILYSM. This record is a behemoth, dealing with John Ross' harrowing health experiences, which he has sublimated into something beautiful and deeply relatable. The Antlers
This is exceptional music making. Brooding, quiet yet full of interest. Repeating motifs, drones and gentle electric guitar tones. It reminds me in places of late Talk Talk. Thank you Cowboy Sadness, more please. joff curtoys
