Dans l’attente d’un futur album de Phosphorescent, on se délecte des affres de ce Full moon project. Matthew Houck a découvert The Convincer de Nick Lowe (2001) en prenant la route en tournée avec Phosphorescent avec un ami qui venait de perdre son père et qui voulait se changer les idées. « Ca m’a assommé et il est devenu une base pour ce voyage et beaucoup d’autres à suivre ».

« Chaque soir, espérant des lendemains épiques
L’azur phosphorescent de la mer des Tropiques
Enchantait leur sommeil d’un mirage doré. »

Phosphorescent – I’m a Mess

I should be filling rooms with the sweet smell of success
I’m a mess look at what I’ve been reduced to
I don’t blame you for sayin’ no when you should have answered yes
But darlin’, darlin’, darlin’, look at me now I’m a mess

I’m a mess, I’m a wreck
I’m really on the deck
I’m a mess, look at how I’m living
Some of these days I’m gonna get back on my feet and
Quit this blue address
But darlin’, darlin’, darlin’, in the meantime I’m a mess

The smart set, I used to run around with are invisible now
They all cut me loose when one said that what I’ve got
Might just rub off on them somehow
I’m a mess, for want of your caress
Darlin’, darlin’, darlin’, look at me now I’m a mess

Phosphorescent – Bad News from Home

High on a cliff in Mexico
Staring down at the rocks and the sea below
I can hear the church bells ring
I can hear the choir

I remember the night she left
I drove to the station in the pouring rain
Sat all night behind my big iron desk
The oil on the water made a rainbow

At the end of this bone-white gravel road
They both lie sleeping on a feather bed
And her hair’s as black as the sky at night
But her eyes are gray like the moon

You can run but you can’t hide
You can run but you can’t hide
You said you love me but I know you lied
You said you love me but I know you lied
