Donovan Woods – THINGS WERE NEVER GOOD IF THEY’RE NOT GOOD NOW [Indie Exclusive Lime Green LP]

Description

Indie Retail Vinyl Variant: – Handwritten note from DW – Personal photos – Alternate cover image – signed insert and numbered “It took me a while to make this record – my whole adult life essentially. Early last year, I was struggling to find things to sing about, or reasons to sing at all. A series of failures led me to a point where I entered an addiction counseling program and committed myself to getting to the bottom of myself, right down to the stuff I kept from everyone. Its been a process. Since then, Ive held myself to a high standard of total honesty always. I shaved my head. I changed my mind about a lot of things. It turns out the truth really does set you free. Eventually, new songs started to reappear. These are those songs. I suppose its a sort of farewell to the guy I was pretending to be. Ive struggled in the past with the character I inhabit in many of my songs. I seem wise, magnanimous, chivalrous. I was trying to will myself into a person I might love and respect.
While Ive always aimed for rigorous honesty in my songwriting, this time I got to push off from the actual bottom of myself. I wont be cheesy and say I feel like this is my first album, but it certainly feels like a new start. I hope you find the songs useful.”
