Of course, one can sense the ironic touch as the singer describes the lonely way he begins each day in his kingdom: With “grime on my face,” and “crust in my eye” and no-one around, everyone having left without saying goodbye.

That this was answering the call Ease Down The Road, while perfectly enjoyable, has always been my least favourite Will Oldham album, while also being my first. The fragility is not so evident, and with that smoother mood in his voice we lose some of the immediate or more delicate emotion. To see her husband's family Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Ease Down The Road, 2001. And combing through these lyrics, despite the song’s odd title, I find it hard to detect any kind of obvious irony, only words of conjugal happiness which sort of spill over into explicit sexual conjugal activity.

The backing voice starts to sound like Thom Yorke on the title track from Kid A. The song goes on too long, although I think this is the first time we hear a violin, which is a nice touch. 1. Upon his rightful booty, But beauty was my treasure then He’s said in interview that the female vocal somehow completes him, fills in the other half of him, when he sings, which is why it’s a reoccurring thing across most of his albums, achieving its wonderful mercurial heights on the brilliant The Letting Go album.

Ease Down the Road features some of his most direct dealings with the subject on "May It Always Be" and "After I Made Love to You." This song has great lyrics, but it’s presented in the same voice, same tones, same simple instrumentation, same easy tune, that I feel my interest drifting. The narrator is driving a woman called Eleanor on “a simple trip / To see her husband’s family,” but at some point (presumably he stops driving) he lays his head upon her hip. Add it to our wiki. He still explores those curlicues of thought that produce anti-moral stories and sentiments in his perfect post-modern vein. The violin is back, giving this a bittersweet feel, but the pace and sheer lack of interest or quirkiness in Oldham’s voice, has always rendered this song, for me, one that gets lost back up the second half of the album. Other male vocal joins for the chorus. Again the melody is very basic, and while it’s super-catchy, the tame speed leaves you craving something hard, ripsnorting and loud, even while your heart soars along with the mid-section when there’s about four singers all in unison singing about the “bloody planet.” So anyway, this is another love song of sorts, perhaps more ironic this time, with a sickly chorus that goes, “Just to see my holly home / We will live just us alone / Safely in our holly home.” What’s a holly home? The narrative is stronger too, with an obvious chronological sense to the story. “She has my baby and things are fine,” eventually leads to a verse like this: “A shark and a dog – now you’re laughing / The dog licks the shark dry in your photographing / And I lick you dry until you’re laughing / My finger is in your behind.” Too much information? This time the narrator is admitting (I think) having done wrong, calling his love “careless” by writing to one lover that “I’m above … / a cloud all flat and white / And with another love tonight.” The carelessness causes the cloud to sink, grounding the love “into the floor / To loving breathe no more.” They argue as he leaves his lady “limp on the floor,” slamming the door, he apologizes, says he misses her, “bye-bye” and “cry cry.” This would all be kind of generic lyrical material (and it is) if not for the way the song is performed in some sort of highlands or Gaelic aesthetic, all soft echoing poignancy and a beautiful falsetto towards the end, as Oldham’s voice almost merges with the organ. Each verse ends with the admission, “this is how I start another day in my kingdom.” The point seems to be that one may decree oneself royalty if one so wishes, to enjoy the good times, and if anyone tries to prevent you, call them a “fuck” and explain “it’s not your kingdom too.” There’s something similar about this and “May It Always Be,” – a restraint, a pulling back, a frustrating feeling. Easy listening, likable, but a bit soft and weary. A King At Night… warm bass, soft tones, and slow rhythm, with a main beat that suggests the foot being put down, the king on his throne. Seeming more confident than ever, Oldham's Ease Down the Road is a wonderful addition to a catalog that should earn him a place among the finest songwriters of his age, or any age. A friend made me a copy on MD back in 2002. And so to give him duty It was released on Palace Records on March 19, 2001. In this song, the narrator seems to want revenge for those who laughed at him. There are two others vocalists on the album, Harmony Korine (male) and Catherine Irwin, she with one of those sweet high voices that blend so brilliantly with Oldham’s. "Wos übrig bleibt": Mit diesem Song feiert Dreiviertelblut einen neuen Charterfolg.
