Places that I’ve gone, I’ve gotta tell you
The voices in my mind, I gotta cut right through
But, God, I’ve learned to cope, I’ve gotta tell you
The memories of my past I done put me through
There’s blood on my shirt still stained
Our forever, baby
Woke up in the morning got high just to pass the day
Buzzin’ my phone, no answer ‘cause I don’t got no time
I’m packing up and leaving out because the neighborhood is on fire
Some days I’ve done still feel like a dozen rains
Still waiting for the sun to shine
There’s places that I’ve never been
I think I’d like to go tonight
I think I’d like to go tonight
Places that I’ve gone, I’ve gotta tell you
The voices in my mind, I gotta cut right through
But, God, I’ve learned to cope, I’ve gotta tell you
The memories of my past I done put me through
When I was just a child they used to tell me
The steps that I take fore-say my destiny
But now I’m much older, I stand tall
Moving through the places that were seeking me
Places that I’ve gone, I’ve gotta tell you
The voices in my mind, I gotta cut right through
But, God, I’ve learned to cope, I’ve gotta tell you
The memories of my past I done put me through
I got to tell you now
I need to tell you now
I got to cut right through
I need to cut right through
I need to tell you
I need to tell you now
What you put me through

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
The great underlying instrumentation paired with Florence's droll stream of consciousness lyrics make this album stand out. It feels so personal and confessional. Favorite tracks are Strong Feelings and Leafy. I've heard Scratchard Lanyard on alt radio and love that one as well. tofupotpie
