Beat Radio - Song For Camden Power
it was all a dreamI used to read tape op magazine
pavement and neutral milk hotel
tube amps and reel to reel machines
close the bedroom door
get tangled up in tapes and cords
and plug the 58
into the 424
i had no plans and no ambitions
except maybe to forget the world outside
because if i could forget the world outside
i’d feel ok
it was a most irreverent mission
i didn’t have anywhere else to go
it was a place to put things i didn’t know
I had to say
Later on I had a band
Camden Power was a fan
what was that line that says “Freedom is to be understood and to understand”?
He did some covers of our songs
We traded emails off and on
One night he tells me he saw God
then 3 weeks later he was gone
I don’t know why these things happen
Maybe no one is meant for anything at all
Maybe all of this is only meant to pass the time
but yeah i’ve always been that singer
who sang the words like they meant too much
and that’s because the words always mean too much in my mind
