I think with David you are either in for the ride or not. I have no idea where he will take us next. But I know he deserves my undivided attention to his next release. All he can ask for as an artist is that the listener comes to it with an open mind. Ready to explore the possibilities together. He is utterly unique. No other artist has travelled such a diverse path (or one that I know of).
His greatest instrument is in my opinion his voice. On that I would like to think we can all agree. Maybe. His lyrics go beyond lyrics and have become relevant in their own right. Poetry. That's another thing I will miss if he does not grace the recordings with his singing. His words. They have a relevance and connection that I think can't be made otherwise. But that's just my thoughts.
But as he has shown us with DYKMN the possibility of working in a more traditional form still exists. Only time will tell.
I love the excitement of an impending release.
I love it also when the board gets busy and the excitement starts to build. Well for some of us.
