about

This week marks the anniversary of the death of Adam Schlesinger, who was taken from us in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is with much joy and gratitude that over the next two weeks we can bring you two wonderful covers of songs by Fountains of Wayne, recorded by one of the finest musicians I have had the privilege of working with, Thomas White. It’s impossible to overstate the importance of Adam Schlesinger’s work to both Tom and I. Throughout our many years of working together Fountains Of Wayne have been a huge source of inspiration for us.
So, first up, from their 2007 album, Traffic and Weather, is the wonderful I-95.

lyrics

They sell posters of girls washing cars
and unicorns and stars, Guns'n'Roses album covers
They've got most of the Barney DVDs, coffee mugs and tee's
That say Virginia is for lovers but its not
Round here it's just for truckers who forgot
To fill up on gasoline back up near Aberdeen

Its a nine hour drive from me to you south on I-95 and I'll
Do it till the day that I die if I need to, just to see you, just to see you

Hip hop staions fading in and out
All I'm receiving now is a kick drum mixed with static
Constellations are blinking in the sky
The road is open wide and it feels so cinematic till a van
Driven by an elder gentlemen who cuts right in front of me
From now on that's all I see

Its a nine hour drive from me to you
South on I-95 and on, do it till the day that I die
If I need to just to see you just to see you

Absolutely stunning album. So layered. So melodic. So many subtleties. This is a classic ‘grower’ - the more you listen, the more you hear and enjoy. ESP is a red wine, in my opinion, getting better with age. sydneytim
