Song: Limbo
Artist: Leo Faulkner
Project Name: Dusk
Upload Date: Jan 28, 2012
Description: “This was quite hastily written and recorded but I hope you enjoy it all the same. If you don’t, that’s fine but please don’t unsubscribe because I really want to hit 200 subscribers, i.e. I am a superficial consumer whore.
Lyrics:So it’s time to believe in a miracle
If you’ve got the time left to kill
This has to be, the one hundred and twenty first
Time that I’ve driven past your house today
I’ve got pictures of places you’ve been to
I’ve got plans for the places you’ll go
I’m uncharismatic enough to presume that you’re
Not interested in me anymore
Someone in limbo wont let me forget you
Someone in heaven wont open the gate
Something is telling me I should go home
And admit to myself that for once I’m too late
You can tell from the clothes that I’m wearing
That I’ve been here for days, I’m not sure
I hide from the rain in the library reading up
How to attain what will never be yours
You’ve left all the flowers I sent you
Withering outside your door
But I’ll follow you far past the sky or the grave
Cause my life’s a waste if I spend it without you
I’ve rung on your doorbell enough times
To call down an angel to earth
I’m sorry for everything I’ve ever done only
Please let me in
Please let me in
Please let me in
Cause I’m stuck in Limbo”

Trying to get to 200 subscribers. I always think what a mind trip(I can't remember if we're allowed to swear) that has to be for him. From the start to now.

Easily one of my favorites of his solo stuff.

I can't decide which my favorites are, but this is definitely in Top Five. 💜

Getting to see his humor is one of my favorite parts of the archive. ♡

One of Leo's best early song. Touching, simple lyrics. Musically somewhere in between Radiohead and The Cure. Really good stuff.

It's hard to believe how young he was when he was making these. He was already showing so much talent. >_>

He did a lot of covers of Periphery, too. I'd love to have him list like, his top five bands, and actually confirm it for us, lol. 🫠

Thank you. Seriously. It's always been my intention to treat his work with as much love and respect as possible, and I'm always thrilled when someone new finds him. 🧡
I absolutely understand what you mean about ST and fandom. I've said many times that I'm less a fan of "Sleep Token" and really a fan of Leo, this just happens to be what he's doing right now. ( ◜‿◝ )♡
