Field Guides - "Esopus"

Note from Will: Creative expression is essential, as are our oceans and whales. All proceeds from this record and merch will go directly to my dear friends at Oceanic Preservation Society (the film, The Cove). My vision is to encourage other creatives (with the necessary means) to release their art in support of the causes that they care most about to both increase awareness of and donations to organizations doing important work. Let’s create, and find new ways to connect with our greater community.

------

Will the Whale is the solo project of Will Boesl, a child of a child of the sixties. Their sound is gentle and kind, with songs born from their meditation practice and filtered through their love of sixties folk rock and psychedelia.

Only Things of the Heart Remain is a 10-song journey with some old and some new. Will’s simple yet memorable melodies float softly among a bed of acoustics, bass, and drums. Accents of pedal steel, dobro, electric guitars, and harmonies help bring the songs to life. Lyrically, Will dances within the realm of spirituality as the theme of the album title grounds the songs as a whole: when all else falls away, only things of the heart remain. This album is dedicated to all people who feel deeply and have a need to express themselves. This is a celebration of authentic expression of the genuine, true self.

Lyrics:
Locking eyes with a foe in a floral blue dress
A grin, a name, a weight in the glance, a whirl of ideas
Civilised in person, raw in retreat
Upbahpbahpbahpbahp-biased to ever stop hinting a spark

Distressed sermon, free rogue vermin
Do you wonder? Leave distance?
Hope you feel the parting breath

I’m searching the depths of a faith long lost
All aboard the loco motive, fear not losing track

Any arrow in the heart, just to feel it
Shock of pain into a darkness, numbness

Arrow

Lyrics:
sometimes
I think about us
all the big events
staying in touch

how can I feel what I feel
until I say it out loud?
how will I know if it’s real
until I make a sound?

I think I might be like not that clever
better luck next time, now or never
I think I’m fine cause we’re all together
baby, that’s just life: ordinary

cause when we go out now
it’s always overrated
we don’t make new friends
faces to remember

and there’s always someone else
better than us
so we fantasize
dancing all alone

I think I might be like not that clever
better luck next time, now or never
I think I’m fine cause we’re all together
baby, that’s just life: ordinary

we’ll make it worth it
like five minutes from now
get all dressed up
and celebrate a memory

I think I might be like 
not that clever
though sometimes we fight, I don’t get it 
I think I’m fine cause we’re all together
baby, that’s just life: ordinary

I Think I Might

« Rouge brûle d’intensité, entre passion et danger. Avec ses guitares tranchantes et son rythme vibrant, le morceau capture l’instant où les émotions débordent, flamboyantes et impossibles à contenir. »
