Going full on Beatles here. A stylistic homage to Sparklehorse
Pretentious title, will change. Melodramatic lyrics, won't change much.

Lyrics:
I guess I'll wait for another another day
To pass me by
a lonely bird still lost at sea
Afraid to fly

This weight has always been a part of me
A liar and a thief

Guess I’m spending another year
Not knowing why
I feel too old to be free but then
too young to die

This weight has always followed close behind
A beggar and a bride

When I can't sleep
I dream
Till the color drains out of my eyes
Into these dead red tides

Or till I sink beneath
The water pooling at my side
Under these grim lit skies

i led my daughter through this desert
And over these barren hills

To a garden where she met a snake
And learned to kill

Take my hand I’ll lead you far away from me
Before I sink  beneath

When I can't sleep
I dream
Till the color drains out of my eyes
Into these dead red tides

Or till I sink beneath
The water pooling at my side
Under these grim lit skies

Under Grim Lit Skies

Beneath The Shadow of a Poisoned Tree

"You don't sound like anyone else," said Danny Thompson - renowned bass player for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English musician Conil.

The GRAMMY-winning engineer for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, Tchad Blake said: "Strange Part of the Country is an awesome album! I still listen to it."

Fleetwood Mac legend Peter Green liked Conil's music so much he stopped by Conil’s house to record with him. They recorded a version of Conil's homage to the jazz greats "Round Midnight". 

Strange Part of the Country never conformed to any current trends and has remained timeless. Now, people are discovering this album and it is becoming an all-time favourite. 

When the album was released in the UK, it received some amazing press. Britain's biggest selling music monthly Q magazine gave it: "Four stars - Q Recommends". Blues Matters magazine wrote: "One of the most original artists out there". In the next issue, Blues Matters put him on the front cover.

Conil left London after Strange Part of the Country was released and has spent the last ten years living in the United States and Europe - including New Orleans, New York City, and Berlin.
