Reach All 02:13
reach all for what? reach all for who? who is this woman that i reach out to? well, I'm boring the crowd but am i boring you? reach all for something reach all the time you're either coy like me or I'm not your kind well, kindness has it's drawbacks yes, kindness can kill to reach all the station reach all i can well, I wonder if I'll perform this song as planned I'm short on courage but the odds say that I'm due reach and be lucky reach and be wrong but you wear the diamond and I'm not that strong my face has changed but could I be wrong

I can't remember said she for a lack of willingness ran thru to her doubt calmly fingering for a trace of history that previous partners had long thrown out can't recall my anger, can't recall my shame she's been away so long, she can't even call out my name where do I go, what do I do when I do these things that I do to you I know I know, but didn't know I knew I was fined when I hadn't a clue

Cancer Eye 03:55
what do you do when the world is you and the caution installed poses the question who the petty involved proclaim the trite to be new and the almighty dissolve in what we trust to be true I know what you think that all smiles are charades and even kisses are coy when the premise fades but while you reconsider the past that invades the door swings open upon the tracks that you've laid hear believe near leave who do you want when the world is you, one can't resolve when one can't move at what cost does one set the date, in search for love inspired by hate I've got myself on a hell of a hill and if you don't laugh I've got a hole to fill what i don't know I thought to be still, but if you don't do it, then you know I will whether it comes down to god or satan the topic at hand there is no point in relatin' and all the words thrown in and all the words thrown out baby, believe me in my mind there is no doubt cancer eye

about

I like this CD. The first 3 songs are "live" in the studio. The opening song is an innocent sounding rocker in the vein of Lou Reed. The next 2 songs are loud and raw. Very raw. My guess is that Fickle was going thru a session of primal scream therapy and couldn't shake it off. Just when you think you have adapted to the over-all sound of this cd, Blang! He throws a crazy country song at you that features a great solo by the incredible Rusty Wright. It also features bass and great background vocals by Jim Fourniadis from Rats of Unusual Size. Fickle follows that with a somber song with a bit more rage that Fickle usually serves up, that ends in a full chaos jam. It takes a crazy bounce & hits you in the back of the head. ERRRRGH!?! What now? WHAT! PSYCHEDELIA? O.k. I did not see that coming. To end the cd....well, I'm not sure how to explain that live performance. First time I have heard someone do that. "Mortician's Funeral" may only be 7 tracks, but it has no problem tossing you around.....with a little love. - GMo

about

Michael Var Fickle Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Thought to be in the grave for many years, Michael Var Fickle returns with "The Clavicle Gate". The story of his death revolved around a light from the night sky, a carnival and a box of 44 fish-sticks. Actually.......that isn't true, but it sure sounds a lot better than the story I heard. Hopefully he makes another album before he really does meet the grave. ... more
