    This is an extremely limited edition USB key edition of Tears of Men. Each hand wood-burned, wearable 2gb drive is made from reclaimed pine and rope lanyard, and each drive is unique. On it, you'll find the original HD studio masters in their native 24/96 sample rate, the highest possible quality VBR MP3 transcodes of the master CD, lyrics, the original artwork and charts, and a short note from me with some thoughts about the album and how to best take advantage of the high definition FLAC files on the drive.

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    This is an extremely limited edition 2 LP set of Tears of Men in 180 gram audiophile Vinyl, replete with custom artwork. There are 250 in Black and 250 in Blue Colorlight (please specify which you'd prefer in your order). The black sounds slightly better, however, I may at some point repress in Black if there is demand, whereas the 250 in blue are the only ones that will ever exist. Of course, you'll also get a free digital copy of the album along with your purchase, but frankly, the Vinyl sounds infinitely better than the digital could ever dream to.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Tears of Men via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

They're coming to get me
Been running on empty since Kalamazoo
Feel like I'm stuck in a beerless pub
But for now it's just gonna have to do

Your search for a bargain mate
Has brought you to the lost and found
The man standing by the gate
Is ready to bring the prices down

You're ready for love in the fountain
Foot speed down on the ground (x2)

You're making a big mistake
That's what they all keep saying to me
But I tend to set them straight
Ain't usually much for subtlety

Somewhere south of Houston street
You're trading up for a better piece
But baby the real elite
Ain't hardly the kind you wanna to fleece

You better get straight to the point girl
The shots just ain't gonna cease
You better get straight to the point Chiquita
The shots just ain't gonna cease

Release
Let go
Don't ask
Don't know (x3)

You'll find
In time
It's better to be blind

You think that with pocket queens
You ought to feel free to make demands
But honey we all can see
You're trying to bluff out a losing hand

I'm sure that your smile has saved you
Let you command weaker men
But here in the den of the lions
We don't have much to pretend
We all would die for our brethren
What have you got to defend?

I create because Art sanctifies humanity.
I create for an American meritocracy.
I create for a time when art may live again. ... more
