Got the heads up about this from a fan of Sage Francis and we immediately understood why. This hard working wordsmith has built a loyal following
Throughout his career, but his new album is whole other level. An incredible list of collaborators enhance his deep and emotional flow and this song, featuring accompaniment from composer Yann Tiersen, is something magic.

    Amazng to hear this on the show tonight, and twice in half an hour too! That doesn't happen very often. What a reaction aswell! I have a feeling this could be a big year for Sage and deservedly so too, the guy's been working his beard off for years. One of the realest guys in music. Watch out for the album in May and a UK tour in September. Think he might have to start looking at bigger venues. Watch ths song grow!

    This is turning into a geoffowen monologue. Anyone else out there loving this track?

    Been listening to Sage for years, its nice to hear him get some airplay in the UK.

    I advise everyone to check out Strange Famous Records and listen to some of the other guys on his label.
    B.Dolan and Le Sac vs Pip are touring together atm, word is that if B.Dolan does well in the UK then Sage will be along sometime too.

    Looking forward to hearing more of his stuff on the airwaves, keep 'em coming Zane.
