I Let My Plant Die

Plastic Eyes

This trauma in my head
It's my fault for thinking this
These pressures I can't cope with
I'll say that I'm fine

Its critical I talk to you
I can't sleep at night
Without you here with me
This crippling pain I have

As we've been here before
As we've been here before
As we've been here before
As we've been here before

As we've been here before
As we've been here before
As we've been here before
As we've been here before

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.

Lone Flyer

Phantom Youth - Steal The Air

like a stone

Don’t you ever feel like nobody knows you?
Floating round like you were a living ghost.
Maybe Someday I'll be somebody’s Father,
Well, Ive already been somebody’s Son

How many Me's can you fit in one person?
How many tree’s could you grow in your garden?
How many days can we still hold on?


I'm a stranger at your dining room table
Close to comfort like it's really me there.
But what I touch, and hear and feel ain't real its like I wasn’t there.

How many Me's can you fit in one person?
How many tree’s could you grow in your garden?
How many days can we still hold on?

Like you’ve got,
The weight of this world living on a wooden stool.
Oh my god,
I'll always just be, one of your distant memory.

Somebody's Father,
Somebody's Son, 
Somebody's Mother, 
Gone by not gone.

The Way

Will the Whale
