    Kidder's Son EP. 2017 Loud Folk Record's five track CD EP

    The first U.S. release by Northern Irish native, Leslie Rich and his band, The Rocket Soul Choir.

    in 2015, Leslie re-formed the Rocket Soul Choir with long time friend, Jason Wahl (The Skullcranes, Sawbones) and Minneapolis stalwart, Pete Boulger (Grande Machine, Dander, Church Of Cash).

    The Kidder’s Son EP was pulled together from an expanding catalogue of Leslie’s songs since leaving the Celtic band, Hounds Of Finn in 2014. Returning to Leslie’s rock and roll roots, the tracks revolve around fearlessness (Blindly Moving Anyway), not being fooled twice (Kidder’s Son), day-old love (Long Line Of Fools), spirituality (Kind Of A Love Song) and rejection (Qualified). It’s a hopeful and forceful record.

    Broken apart, production is spacious, but all the more potent for it.

about

It's about love breaking apart and all of the terrible things that come with it. The loneliness, the jealousy of seeing what other people have, the rejection and yet, a little determination that your version of how love should be is out there waiting for you.

lyrics

This ain't the first, or the last about lovers
And I'm not the one to help you learn
'Cos some of the best have passed me over
The survivors have ben the hardest to verse

I'm not qualified
Your love and mine are two different things
I need more than that
Than a minute of passion thrown in from the wings
A minute of passion
A minute of passion
Thrown in from the wings

There's nothing so lost as when we don't have each other
There's an empty space that you left behind
I turn off the light and still hope to feel you
Your comforting flesh, laying by my side

But I'm not qualified
Your love and mine are two different things
I need more than that
Than a minute of passion thrown in from the wings
A minute of passion
A minute of passion
Thrown in from the wings

Sometimes my arms grow weak from the holding
On so tight to this fragile design
Your mouth and mine are locked in communion
But there's someone else at the front of my mind
Someone else at the front of my mind
Somebody else
Somebody else

But I'm not qualified
Your love and mine are two different things
I need more than that
Than a minute of passion thrown in from the wings
A minute of passion
A minute of passion
A minute of passion
A minute of passion
A minute of
A minute of
A minute of
