Loans by Lewis the Light

Oh you are dreaming again, man. But yeah, that is where the action is. It takes courage to stare at the sun in the middle of the day in the 100 degree central Florida weather. And now you are slowing drowning in a kiddie pool in your front yard. You've never been to Italy but you've been to Venice and Naples. There is nothing dark in that dream of yours. It just seems that way. Oh the cups in the cupboard always seem to stick together when you go to pour yourself water from the sink. Outside the kitchen window there is an empty field that is going to stay empty, you think. There is a highway overpass, speeding cars on their way to Tampa or Orlando or somewhere else. Always somewhere else. You can take out a loan. You can put this dream of yours on an installment plan. Where did the day go. You have seen everything now.

A new Lewis the Light album about two trips to Florida (Venice/Tampa, and Orlando/Disney World) in 2022. 12 songs about being down and out, the weather being too hot, time moving slow, and clouds coming in off the coast.

Ambient synth-y dream folk for driving in a car on the highways of central Florida under a cloud-streaked sky.

Recorded: December 2022 - March 2023 - San Francisco, CA

Instruments used: acoustic guitar, harmonica, microKorg synthesizer, wood flute, free online drum machine.

Any money paid for this album will be given to the SF Coalition on Homelessness (www.cohsf.org)

"Satisfied with his care and the width of his belly, Lewis escaped and returned to San Francisco, where he was arrested after ripping open his clothing and asking passersbys to witness the divine light that burned in his breast."
