Presenting me
With your company
What a heavy-handed blow
I’ve come un-seamed
Like stars that gleam
Though the burned out
Long ago
On the outside
Though I look the same
I’m a galaxy away
While I wish you could
Be here with me
You’re not -and so I’ll say
I’m drifting toward another world
That’s humming ‘round your head
For a second I looked at the clock
Just to see that time was dead
Then I thought “dead.”
That’s what I’ll soon be
Yet that is quite alright
My energy will soon dissipate
Into interstellar flight
Happiness. Peace.
Boisterous merriment.
From the ground, into your brain
The Cosmos starts to be explained
Sadness. Pain.
Perplexing ignorance.
From the ground, into your brain
The Cosmos starts to be explained
You’re seein’ all the pretty things
You’re seein’ all the ugly things...

This recording makes a great workout companion! All tracks exercise my mind while I'm power walking the hills where I live in Massachusetts. Keeps the feet moving for my daily 3 miles. Thank you MFTJ and all Keneally music. rondidonato
I have been a huge fan of the great MIKE KENEALLY for many years. He is such a brilliant talent! I’m really really enjoying the latest MFTJ album a great deal. “What Wally Thinks” and “I Remember When Candy Bars Were A Nickel” respectively are a perfect one-two punch to open up an album! I’ll be enjoying this one for a long long time!! Danny Cavazzi
2001... it was probably just a couple of years since I first listened to MK's music!
Thanks for all you've written/published before/since then, maestro Mike! nespalex

Pretty avant-pop with simple instrumentation and gentle bite from New York's Garcon No.1 cleverly subverts the torch song. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 13, 2020
