Dark Night Of The Soul

I will probably periodically mention this guy, Mary Cigarettes (aka Gregory Gray), who died without his songs being known a fraction as much as they should be. Of course he’s not the only one.

I’ve found it fascinating to learn a little bit about him retrospectively, mainly through the words he writes below the youtube videos he posted. Always worth a read. I think there is still a blog of his up somewhere too. I love his songs, which are only available, as far as I know, on the Library of the Internet.

It’s not really going to matter to any of us if our music is discovered after we pass. But it’s nice to think that people might do so anyway, and care enough to share.

So here’s a link to Mary’s Dark Night Of The Soul, which has a stonking retro soul sound and a great wee video.

Have a good weekend.
