Lyrics:

Piece by piece the scales fall from her eyes
She's really starting to see my human side
Too uncouth and unrefined
But then I see that smile
She loves me for who I am

But now I've said something so dumb
(You've done it know John) You screwed it all up
But before I can apologize she let's it slide
And then, I see that smile
She loves me for who I am

"Kurukurukurukurukurukurukuru. Mama, I am strong"
Don't know what to do... but everyone sing along cos
SHE LOVES ME FOR WHO I AM.

Cover Art: A pearl under a new moon

Ah 
La nuit des temps
Le temps perdu 
Qui coule, qui vole

(mais si tu)
Donne tout taan cocur 
A chaque instant
Sans peine sans peer 
Et vois ce qui fleuriras

Me voila maintenant 
Un pas a gauche, un pas a droite 
Demere, devant 

Si l'sprit m'entends
Lorsque je danse 
Il danserais avec moi

(Il est toujours la) 
Derriere la vitre 
Cashe comme un huitre
Qui attends seulement
La lune, oh, decroissante
Et sa belle silence  

Puis enfin 
Quand ton coeur est calme 
Et le ciel est noir il s'ourre sous la nourelle lune 
Timide heureux, plain d'espoir

Et puis 
Deine qui eclaire le soir 
Avec une perle, pleine 
Brillante, souriante miroir

Il est pujour le
Derriere la vitre
Cashe comme un huitre 
Attendent une danse ensemble
(Et sa belle silence)

Love is always there
If you get quiet and close up your eyes 
You will see finally
He's been waiting eternally
For you to see

La Nuit Des Temps

Lyrics:

I love the Q cos
I love the view of
Manhattan Bridge 

I'ma be rich
I'ma have money too

I took the L 
To Bedford Avenue
Saw Maddie Cunningham 
That could be me and you

I'ma be rich
I'ma have money too

I took the M 
To Marcy Avenue 
Mans made a couple bands
I spend it all on you

I took the G
To Hoyt-Schermerhorn
And now my phone just died
But I know my way back home

I'ma be rich
I'ma have money too

I ride my bikey
Down Ocean Avenue 
We live in Flatbush
Feeling established

My Daddy rich
My mom's good lookin' too

I Took The L

Coyote, You're My Star

Fools is a watershed event in the genesis of post-bossa. The record subverts traditional concepts of what “alternative” music is, disposing of tired chord progressions, kitschy themes, and larping emo aesthetics. The compositions here show what music can be and do when it does not pander to an audience, allowing Roseboro unprecedented freedom to weave poems of grief, girls, and God over melodies indifferent to what the genre might seem to be. The result is visceral, vulnerable, and most of all, true. 

 Roseboro’s most collaborative work to date,  Fools hosts personnel from Brooklyn’s most talented friend group: most consistently, neighbors Luke Jr and Yamp, performing on and co-producing nearly every track with Reid Devereaux contributing horns, bass, and slide guitar. The four musicians had already headlined tours together the previous year, performing at SXSW, Montreal Jazz Festival and supporting dear Ron Gallo who has been championing John for over two years, often to deaf ears... John would go on to arrange and perform Ron’s “Psycho Moment” for the album. Other featured artists include fan favorites and familiar faces: Liam McMcay (sign crushes motorist), Mei Semones, John Lisi (Twin Brother), Juliana Chahayed, and Liana Flores. 

Just a few years ago, there was no John Roseboro. After a bad relationship and a worse break up, John was virtually homeless, penniless, and annonymous. Maintaining faith has brought him everything and this is echoed in interviews and throughout his discography. Independently managing, funding, and distributing his work John has to say “I am gambling on the integrity of my relationships and the impact of these songs… thank you for holding my hand.”
