The song itself is the output of reading Madeleine Albright's book Fascism at the start of 2019. The striping of societal values at the rate that no-one will notice. The track also serves as a little aperitivo for an album I'm due to launch in the coming months.
lyrics
The evening comes,
My inhibitions they drift in violent ways,
Unknown horizons,
My inhibitions they drift,
A violent haze.
Darling, I can take no more.
One by one,
Feather by feather,
Your lost inside my maze,
Day by day,
Feather by feather
Your dreams inside my cage,
Darling, I can take no more,
Maybe I can take one more.
One by one,
Feather by feather,
You're naked by design I made.
Darling, I could take one more,
Maybe I could take them all,
Darling, I can break them all
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023

Everything Shawn William Clarke does is pretty. Pretty guitar playing, vocals, songwriting, and with this album, a lovely sonic landscape. Perfect music for drinking your morning coffee while gazing out the window. Track 1 is the most calming and hopeful music I've heard in a really long time. Bet Smith
