Farewell To Folderol

about

What was said:

Pop Culture Classics:
“Farewell to Folderol” is another beauty, and one of the all-time great song titles. Throughout, Brooks summons Beatles vibes, building on McCartney’s rocking hooks, Harrison’s fluid guitar lines and Lennon’s psychedelic flourishes. There are suggestions of Nilsson, as well.

Leicester Bangs UK:
“Farewell To Folderol” unfurls itself over six minutes, applying and relaxing pressure before peaking with two minutes of harmonic ecstasy

lyrics

Farewell To Folderol (5:59)

Let’s quit or jobs and shit
Spit out that chomping bit deal it down
Sell what we borrowed,
Donate what we stole leave this town
A trade wind blows hot as my soul
I lift you up down as we go
And farewell to folderol

Get in that car and hand me that jar of fireflies
Synapse is snapping, minutia is madness, blow out that sky
I squeeze pure carbon, in the palm of my hand
So give me one moment, in your hour glass sand
And farewell to folderol

Well i seen more than i pretend
And i want this feeling to never end
I may not buy all that you sell
But baby don’t you know
You can’t un ring that bell

Heavens to murgatroyd
Pentecost or paranoid, fire up that blade
A cerebellum vortex,
I’m vexed at the cortex, hit that wave
A trade wind blows hot as my soul
I’ll lift you up down as we go
And farewell to folderol

Brad Brooks Oakland, California

Brad Brooks is that rare quadruple threat of writer, player, singer, and performer.
His songs combine the melodic sensibility of Elvis Costello, the best instincts of Wilco and Brian Wilson, the orchestral sophistication of Queen, along w/the Stonesy/Bowie gritty edges of rock/soul.
"If you're anything like me, you need some good news. Brad Brooks' music is that good news”……….Wayne Kramer ... more
