about

The Art Of Longing (7.10.20) is the fifth single in Still Wilson's prolific release series of 2020; again featuring sublime playing by John Spears on flugelhorn and trumpet. Also joining the session again is pianist Lloyd Gil Wright on B3 and synths. A contemporary electronic underpinning sets the moody, ambient feel here.

Wilson's easy baritone delivers a clever lyric drawing upon common phrases one might use when discussing fine art to "paint" more intimate, personal descriptions of our human desire for acceptance, romantic love and connection.

lyrics

The art of longing
I know it quite well
It's in the eyes
And written on your face
An image of that timeless spell

The melancholy hues
It's the art of longing
A portrait of the blues
It's the art of longing

The art of longing
The muted tones of goodbye
It's the fine details
And the shifting light
That catch my eye

Every setback, another brushstroke
Every heartbreak, another color
Every dark tint of lonely night
Balanced only by splashes of light
Light from the radiant joy of new love
And only by embracing the many ways of belonging
Do we come to know the art of longing

The melancholy hues
It's the art of longing
A portrait of the blues
It's the art of longing
It's the art of longing
It's the art of longing
