Now It's Time For You To Meet Loren Kramar

Here is Loren Kramar's new song "Gay Angels" from his brand new release "Glovemaker" available now. His voice, his sensibility, his lyrics...exquisite. And the build of this song is wrenching.

There’s always been a voice
Sometimes smooth
Sometimes squawking
Sometimes screaming

There’s always been a scene
Where velvet curtains should’ve been
And trained actors instead of me
Reframing boyhood dramedy
I’ve seen mad fathers
Working impressions of snow angels in driveways
To stop sad mothers from leaving and speeding away

I found shy brothers
Painting bruises on green eyes
Before carpools
Drowning shy brothers
Peeping through inches of closed open doors

I’ve seen gay angels
Sleeping with eyes open
Staring right through the heart of dreams
Landing square on the face of God
Show me one difference between me and love

There’s always been a voice
With some clever little line
Maybe half of the time
What’s in a mind?

There’s always been a scene
With some perfect little trap door beneath
Well, that’s for me
What’s for me?

I’ve seen gay angels
Sleeping with eyes open
Staring right through the heart of dreams
Landing square on the face of God
Show me one difference between me and love
What’s the difference between me and love?

I said it cos I meant it
You heard it or you didn’t
Do you hear it? Do you hear it? Do you hear it?
There’s no breaking, only bending
Been a lifetime of defending
No more pretending
No more pretending

I’ve seen gay angels
Sleeping with eyes open
Staring right through the heart of dreams
Landing square on the face of God
Show me one difference between me and love
What’s the difference between me and love?

Me and love
Me and love
Me and love

And this song, "Hollywood Blvd" captures a certain naïve obsession with fame and glamour for its own sake that is both sweet and pitiable.
