Bonnie "Prince" Billy

a few buddies keep telling me to check out his work but I have never really been bothered enough to try. so i'm curious to see what y'all have to say about him.

so, any hearty recommendations?

I like the collab with Tortoise, though that's all I've heard.
It's got some great covers on it.

what's his best album, peeps

I've only just heard I see a darkness and Master and Everyone, I like the first one more. If you haven't done it already, get it.

Can anyone recommend some more albums from his extensive discography?

same

I See a Darkness is definitely his best.

How many have you heard?

I See a Darkness, The Letting Go, Ease Down the Road and then some of his Palace Brothers stuff. The Letting Go is his second best, his new one should be good.

Sigh...well, I'll still have to see for myself...

Death to everyone

I am here, right here
Where god puts none asunder
And you, in black dress and black shoe
You do invite me under
Go on, go there
You can see me aging
Stars turn, balls burn
Coming kids are raging

Death to everyone is gonna come
And it makes hosing much more fun
Death to everyone is gonna come
And it makes hosing much more fun
La la la ...

Every terrible thing is a relief
Even months on end buried in grief
Are easy light times which have to end
With the coming of your death friend

Death to everyone is gonna come
And it makes hosing much more fun
Death to everyone is gonna come
And it makes hosing much more fun
La la la ...

So strap me on and raise me high
Cause buddy I'm not afraid to die
But life is long and it's tremendous
And we're glad that you're here with us
And since we know an end will come
It makes our living fun

Death to everyone is gonna come
And it makes hosing much more fun
Death to everyone is gonna come
And it makes hosing much more fun

Death to me and death to you
Tell me what else can we do die do
Death to all and death to each
Our own god-bottle's within reach

Death to everyone is gonna come
And it makes hosing much more fun
