Owen - Windows and Doorways

Bad backs and hardwood floors
I'm so sick of waking up sore
Not knowing where I am
And this was a lot of fun
When the music meant something to someone
That didn't have a girlfriend
Well somehow, getting out the same way that the earth moves around the sun
I won't stray too far, or be gone too long

Windows and doorways, I don't know which way
to leave this room
Because I'm afraid of heights
and I'm afraid of you tonight
Those striped socks and punk rock pajamas
Some ways I changed, in most ways I'm the same

For better or worse I can't say
Only time will tell
Like an addict, I'm cursed in a good way
I've done it so long and I'm not sure how not to

The same way that the earth moves around the sun will be gravity
Pulls on everyone
Dead beats and dead friends
My god, when will it end?

樂隊(duì)介紹；???

說實(shí)話，和很多Acoustic作品一樣，好聽有余，新意不大。姣好的人聲、漂亮的吉他、偶爾優(yōu)美的鋼琴兼之。但是個(gè)人就是對于這樣簡單卻極其悅耳的東西不能免疫，而且總是青睞有嘉。況且Mike Kinsella有著一把溫暖至極的聲音，溪水般緩緩地淌進(jìn)你的心里。

At Home With Owen expands the minimal guitar and voice aesthetic palette that Kinsella has stuck with until now.While the strings, stand-up bass, and sharp drums add a lush dynamic to Kinsella’s songs, much of At Home With Owen veers close to a monotonous sound.

Lyrically, however, Mike has kept things familiar, wading unflinchingly into his personal life, continuing to document his struggles with courageous honesty. Yet, despite Kinsella’s willingness to leave no stone unturned, one wonders when his lyrical focus will change.

Overall, At Home With Owen is yet another fine entry into Kinsella’s discography. There is enough fine playing, and emotionally potent moments to overlook the troubling narrative. Hopefully, the corpse on the front of the disc points to the death of one phase of Kinsella’s solo career and promises something fresher the next time around.

At Home With Owen凸顯了Kinsella一貫的簡單的吉他和姣好的嗓音。弦樂、貝斯和鼓聲為Kinsella的一些歌曲增添了更多活力，但這張專輯中的許多歌曲仍偏向于單一的樂聲。

從歌詞看，Mike的歌詞仍是大家熟悉的題材，仍然固守于他的個(gè)人生活。盡管他不遺余力地細(xì)數(shù)生活點(diǎn)滴，但聽者還是希望歌詞的素材能有所改變。

總體來說，At Home With Owen是又一個(gè)進(jìn)入Kinsella音樂世界的絕佳入口。專輯里有漂亮的吉他，強(qiáng)烈的情感，這足以使人忽略過于冗長的敘述。希望CD封面上的尸體標(biāo)志著Kinsella獨(dú)唱生涯的結(jié)束，也預(yù)示著下張專輯能有更新鮮的素材。
