NO DEPRESSION

Gone & Back:

Nathan Bell’s Black Crow Blue

“Men today have two basic paths:

one embracing love, truth and kindness or

being an asshole who justifies selfishness, pettiness and greed…

and knowing that in your soul, your life is returned,

I don’t understand why there’s even a  decision.”

-- Nathan Bell

 

Somewhere beyond the blurry horizon line, beyond the stark light of Springsteen’s Nebraska and Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, Nathan Bell started walking. Not literally. Not metaphorically. No, in songs. Fourteen of them: harsh light, black & white with a few cold shades of grey portraits about what it means to be unseen, to be a stat, a bar code, an unintelligible part of the fuzzy blur.

 

Bell knows of what he writes.

Bell’s mature talent makes a good case for the argument that people shouldn’t start writing songs until they’ve been around long enough to know what the fuck they’re talking about.

How good was Nathan Bell? The heavy drinkers and hard cases refused to piss until the show was over.
