7. 'ABACUS' By Fionn Regan. 6 months ago

The grass is screaming long
Midnight cars roll past
I’ve been chasing your room
While the summer lasts

So count it on your fingers
If we got it wrong
It’s cause the days have no numbers
If we leave tonight
And we leave it all behind

Drinking alphabetically
Cause the beauty’s gone all sore
Honey dripping, paler skin
While there’s bodies underneath, the floor

So count it on your fingers
If we got it wrong
It’s cause the days have no numbers
If we leave tonight
And we leave it all behind

I simply think this is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. The fingerpicking work on the guitar is to perfection and the lyrics are amazing and cery poetic. Fionn is a talent not to be ignored that’s for sure. Fans of Dylan and Nick Drake will love him.
I couldn’t find him playing but I found this fella playing it and it’s very good:

Your posts are going to be very bad for music budget…. but very, very good for my music collection.

I love it – I had to give the whole album a listen instead of working on my project for school, but I didn’t mind one bit. :)

Food for the soul!

Yehhhh!
I’m glad you’re liking these artists, and if they’re people who you may and never heard of before, it makes me more happier because music should be for discovering, cherishing, and then passing on and sharing! I’m glad you liked his album ,it’s brill. If you like him you will probably love Josh Pyke too!
