Willis Earl Beal - Flying So Low by Tender Loving Empire

From the album ‘Noctunes’ (2015) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/willisbeal

Look around in the dark hallways
And I’m flying so low
I look around in the dark hallways
And I know
I’m flying so low
I’m flying so low
I’m flying so low

Follow the earth men
They try and get in my door
I can see their faces
Holler out
Their teeth show
But I know I can’t stop it
And it’s all up for grabs

I’m flying so low
I’m flying so low
I’m flying so low
I’m flying so low

The mountains rise and I fall
Into the ocean
The monsters know
That I don’t got my potion
I try to run but I know it’s almost time so
I fall and crumble
I don’t have no place to go
I’m flying so low
I just wanna come back now
I’m flying so low
Why don’t you let me come back now
I’m crying on the stage
Please don’t forget me

Willis Earl Beal has yet to be born. Critics and publicists defined him before he’d had a chance to define himself. Their expectations were inextricably linked with race and gender, two concepts Beal thoroughly rejects. Now, two extremely productive years removed from the spotlight, Beal doesn’t feel pressure to define himself against anything. His new music is shockingly original, utterly confident, and as ephemeral as Beal himself. He levitates above definition, concerned only with self-discovery and truth-seeking. “I know it sounds falsely altruistic,” he says. “But I think a simple voice like mine can serve as an example of some kind of freedom.”
