The Faron Young Breakthrough

It was there. The answer. It was right in front of me. The very fact it took a Faron Young LP for me to realise it takes nothing away.

Hello Walls.

Or rather Hello Ceiling (hello, hello), I'm gonna stare at you a while.

It is not often that answers can be found up above, but it happens. The cracks in my ceiling reminded me of the crime scene. The cracks look just like the cracks in the floor. They didn't rob the safe, they replaced it. There is still time. They may not have cracked it open yet.

I too loved Faron Young's Hello Walls.
At first, I thought he may have been a little crazy talking to those walls, but when you really stop to think about it, it makes sense. I've talked to the walls and that doesn't make me crazy...okay maybe it does, but I have talked to walls before and I remember noticing and started singling 'HELLO WALLS' haha...
I've just finished the book Live Fast Love Hard, by Diane Diekman. A biography on Faron Young. It's really quite well-written you should check it out if you haven't already.
