this is one of the best songs i´ve heard !!

I can see an old church from my window, 
And sometimes I wish I could go,
Walk around in someone elses clothes, 
Hope and sing like the good Christians do.
But the path I chose, it is different. 
No I won't bend my knee for you.
Rather wander around a cold universe, 
I will not be accountable to.

But am I worse in my own congregation, with money my only true god?
40 hours a week to what justified end? To be the more cohesive cog.
It's so easy to right the worlds problems, in barroom or other-such talk,
Then continue to prey at my desk through the day, too loyal to the system to stop.

The Amalgamation of Capital (and other bedtime tales)

Thomas & The Empty Orchestra is the music of Thomas Matthew Bower. Sheffield born he moved to the twin city of Bochum, Germany in late 2020.

Taking influence from the likes of Paul Simon, Nick Drake, Bon Iver, Iron & Wine, The Good Life, Fleet Foxes and the broader American emo scene he crafts folk songs rich with poetic imagery; tales of frailty, love, the grim English North and the transience of being. 

He is working on new music currently, with a view to releasing and touring in 2021 (global pandemic permitting).
