lyrics
i am a student now
of whom i cannot tell
of what i cannot tell...
i read his books for years
i've gone all through them
how i wanted one last fix
but he's not writing now
oh, my teacher died
i felt sorry
but i wasn't sorry
the night we said goodbye
i felt a crumbling school
my skin was sensitized
to air that rushed in cool
oh !
my teacher's eyes
were gentle as any man's have been
there are no superstars
there is no superman
there's only everyone
i learn from whom i can
oh, my teacher died
and i felt sorry
but i wasn't sorry...
my teacher died
and i'm a student now
of whom i cannot tell
of what i cannot tell !

More Protest Songs! Morgan Bassichis Live at St. Mark's Church
by Morgan BassichisI love hanging out with this record because this record is kinda like hanging out. Conversational, personal/universal, comedic/tragic, repetitive song spells--Morgan's got skills on vox & piano.

Personally, this is my favorite Grouper album. The lofi sound of this record is amazing and it gives off that melancholic, ethereal, and somewhat depressive feel to it. That kind of album you listen to either when it's a cold early morning or when it's a freezing moonlit night. Love this album so much.

Epic, immersive songs that you disappear into, with rich layers of keys and ghostly vocal melodies conjuring a misty dreamworld.
go to album -
Lovely, delicate acoustic music with rich, narrative lyrics that play out more like short stories than songs.
