    Lach's third album 'Kids Fly Free' came out the week the World Trade Center fell. Tour cancelled, the album never had a chance. It was originally released on Lach's Fortified label that included artwork on the disc itself. It was then picked up by Track Records in the UK, who originally signed Hendrix and The Who, and that import version has no CD art but does have a bonus hidden track of 'The Hillary Clinton Song'. Please indicate with your order whether you'd like the US or UK version.

about

"This is another of my dreamt songs. Just woke up and wrote it down. I think just about any performing songwriter has experienced what this tune is talking about. The clarinet is actually a mellotron and the backing vocals are a bit of a who's who of the Antifolk scene in NYC at that time. More recently the tune is used as part of the theme song to the second season of The Lach Chronicles on BBC Radio 4 so a song that speaks of no one listening to it has now been heard by millions. Dreams are weird." - Lach

lyrics

Ain't It The Most

Well, you just broke another string
And nobody noticed a thing
Well, ain't that the most to be such a ghost

And the crowd well they talk through every song
Then they stay silent during the sing along
Well, ain't it the most to be such a ghost

Now you’re feel like a grumpy, old dad
In a tattered white robe
Surrounded by toys and children
Going crazy on a Christmas morn
That you don't even know

And all the people who are sitting right out there
Are ninety-nine percent water
One percent hot air
Ain't it the most

And the present moment is already a memory
Yeah, history stopped when you went away
Oh baby, baby, please come back to me
‘Cause I am chipped
I am faded and I'm singing in this cemetery
Ain't it the most to be such a ghost
