Song of the Week (9/6/08)

Aesop Rock - How To Be A Carpenter

This song is dark and mellow like a fine chocolate. It appeared on Aesop Rock's second album: Float (1999). Like usual, the lyrics are deep, unorthodox, and riddle with satire. Dreams are easily crushed by the people who want to tell you how to do it. Think it trough. Commit to it, buckle down and get it done. This is inspiration to the "people who keep an impressive wingspan even when the cubicle shrink (None Shall Pass 2008)."

"know your limits only to break your limits. Are you listening? God dammit boy, pay attention!"



"Dream away the blame pain, yeah but it seeps through the cracks,And drips from the ceiling and smells the rich scent of my tracks.All I ever really wanted was a jungle, and a jungle I got,See it ain't the vision it's the plot that makes me stop."
