desmond_dekker
misstree ska and reggae have always had a very calming effect on me, when sentimental attachments keep their damn noses out of it. it's born from the working class in a dirt-poor country, but it's not angsty or angry, it's hopeful, and determined, and uplifting. desmond dekker is right now my personal savior; not only is he damn_sexy on his own, his voice is incredible and damn sexy on its own, and shanty_town_original has some just really great songs on it. it's helping me squeeze the mental pus out a little. 040312

so that every mouth can be fed...

"i had you on the tips of my fingers
but i let it slip right through my hands..."
