lyrics
Colder now, the workers have gone
The factory stretches, it lets out a yawn
A torch, a newspaper under his arm
The keys to every office, and attic and hall
He doesn’t let the lonely silence bring him down
Nobody sees him as the nightwatchman does his rounds
The sound of his boots, his breath and the clock
The rain on the roof, a door he unlocks
A room with a light, a table, a chair
He takes off his hat, and smoothes out his thinning hair.
He doesn’t let the lonely silence bring him down
Nobody sees him as the nightwatchman does his rounds
A world asleep, he keeps a close eye
In empty rooms, he waits for the sun to rise
He doesn’t let the lonely silence bring him down
Nobody sees him as the nightwatchman does his rounds
He keeps himself awake, remembering aloud
Nobody sees him as the nightwatchman does his rounds

My favorite Lawson album to sleep to. it's so warm and cozy and relaxed, and it does just make me want to Sleep, Eat, Snuggle & Repeat. Very homely and comforting dillon.

Just discovered this ancient gem among the treasures of Steve's collection. Beautiful melodies, intriguing harmonies and textures and fascinating bass sounds unheard elsewhere. chorna

WTF? How was this not in my Bandcamp collection. I must've bought it from a different account before! Anyway, I've been listening to this since before it was released and a decade on it's still a spectacularly perfect collection of songs. Sounds like a greatest hits album. Literally any track could be chosen as my 'favourite'. Truly astonishing. Steve Lawson
A vibrant vision of "Central Americana" from the Costa Rica-based artist, blending heartland devotionals with playful Tropicália grooves. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2022

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
