lyrics

Lament for Captain Julius

“it's me questioning julius and wondering if there's any good in the world”

it's only a matter of time 'til we grow up to be just like you.
worn out and dry.
God's gifts don't give for too long do they?

Captain Oh Captain are you swallowing salt?
Captain Oh Captain are you swimming laps in blood?

These stories are so damned long
and most words are filler.
As kids we want to change worlds with our songs
but most of us are quitters.

Captain Oh Captain please prove me wrong.
Captain Oh Captain hope I'm wrong.

about

Ceschi New Haven, Connecticut

Ceschi (pronounced chess-key) Ramos makes his own version of progressive hip hop spliced with elements of folk & indie rock. Although he has almost "mathy" technical rap abilities he's first and foremost a singer-songwriter at heart. Although one Ceschi song may consist of punk influenced machine gun fast raps, the next may be a quiet folk ballad played on acoustic guitar. ... more

This Guitar Was Stolen Along With Years Of Our Lives

Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do. I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool. Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world. oldtruck
