Premiere
Still Smells — but only just
No notes yet — be the first.
The song is on YouTube: watch the video.
A slow blues about a jacket that still remembers last year’s evenings — a little less each time. The refrain is ours: the jacket’s mine, the smell is not mine now.
The lyric
[verse]
The jacket on the hook still smells of last year's evenings
I put it on and I can't find a reason for believing
it was ever anything but wool and thread and rain
The smell is leaving slowly, and it isn't coming back again
[chorus]
Still smells, but only just
A little less of it each time I trust
I wear it out, I wear it down
The jacket's mine — the smell is not mine now
[verse]
Nobody says a word about it, nobody has to
It's the kind of thing that only I can notice in a room
[bridge]
Club, a car, a kitchen, a winter, a friend
It keeps them all a while, and then lets them go in the end
[chorus]
Still smells, but only just
A little less of it each time I trust
I wear it out, I wear it down
The jacket's mine — the smell is not mine now
[outro]
Still smells
but only just
