This town's got a vacuum
It's sucking me dry, sucking me dry, sucking me dry
Well I lived here all my live, yeah
Sucking me dry, sucking me dry, it's sucking me dry
Well, it used to be all steel and coal
But that's long gone, still the skies hang low
The clouds are mostly dull and grey
Gonna pack my stuff, gonna get away
This town's got a vacuum
It's sucking me dry, sucking me dry, sucking me dry
Well I lived here all my live, yeah
Sucking me dry, sucking me dry, it's sucking me dry
People out here on the street
They don't talk, they just seem to
Take care of their dreariness
Lost in their ambitiousness
Gonna pack my wings and fly
I'm longing for a bigger piece of sky
I'm not so young anymore
Still I'm heading for a distant shore
To start all over once again
I'm tired of the same refrain
This town's got a vacuum
It's sucking me dry, sucking me dry, sucking me dry
Well I lived here all my live, yeah
Sucking me dry, sucking me dry, it's sucking me dry
Dino Soldo is an extraordinary musician and songwriter, who toured with Leonard Cohen, Ray Charles, Johnny Guitar Watson etc. This is his latest solo record and in my opinion his best up to date. Martin Praetorius
This is my favourite autumn record of all times. Beautiful melodies and heartbreaking lyrics, deliverd by a quite unique and soothing voice. Martin Praetorius
Fiachna Winter Sun just brings me to my knees. The fiddle and flute completely summons my core to the submission of such beauty.
Just played this again after your performance with Tom Dunne and Alan Conner on The Late Late Show. Your energy on the trad song was incredible. Still grappling with a continent and an ocean keeping me at bay with the gigs of humanity being right there in Ireland. Dont Stop! David and Delfina Hernandez
“Write The Soil Lighter” is full of beguilingly mysterious folk-adjacent music, shrouded in shadow and atmospherics. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2023
