about
R. F. Coleman co-writes with Joshua Moriarty (of Miami Horror, Telenova) and was co-produced by Scott Horscroft (Silverchair, The Presets, DMA's). "I Couldn't Trust" is his debut as a solo musician, but not as an 'artist'. As a writer for the New York Times and Guardian, R. F. Coleman has been shot, stabbed, poisoned with cyanide and put a hit out on himself. He's photographed for Canon and directed award-winning short films on five continents.
Untrained, R. F. Coleman's songs are, to put it kindly, 'naturally raw' (read: naive). They talk in the abstract, as he operates in the abstract. The subject matter a ballerina, fish tank, self-discovery, addiction, sobriety, eloping, being a father, being accountable. The process is always fun, but often frustrating (particularly for co-writer/producer, Josh). The words come quickly; the ideas erratic, desperate and not necessarily 'correct'. That's ok. R. F. Coleman hopes you enjoy the music and experience it your own way (just not while riding a bike; please concentrate).
Thanks and stay focused,
R. F. Coleman.
lyrics
Somehow found me attractive for a reason
Find a piece of puzzle doesn’t fit
Give me a healthy life, or give me lovers
You scrounge around for coins and that’s not it -
It was you, I couldn’t trust
It was you, I couldn’t love
Horrible things can happen to another
Seeing faces that you recognize
And someone’s love is trying break through
And someone’s love is trying to talk to you
It was you, I couldn’t trust
It was you, I couldn’t love
Thought about a reason to escape
You’ve found another way to count your days
When someone’s love is trying to break through
Someone’s love is trying to talk to you
It was you, I couldn’t trust
It was you, I couldn’t love
It was you, I couldn’t trust
It was you, I couldn’t love -
Finally found the distance
From your eyes to Christmas
I’ll never fall in love again.
