The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect.



Utopia's There Goes My Inspiration is a funny song about being a sad artist. I've posted this sweet version by The Rubinoo's because the words are more discernible. Here's the original version by Utopia. And here's a nice live acoustic version by Utopia's bass player Kasim Sulton. Money verse . . .

Me and Gaugin used to party down
I was hung in the Louvre, I was Renoir's pal
Vincent van Gogh used to joke with me
Now they don't come 'round
It's all over town that the master's lost his touch
I'm so lost I can hardly hold a brush

have we talked about utopia before?? i love them. Libertine is an amazing song and I can't help but love the song "on the road to Utopia"

omg. I don't think we have. I'm not shitting you, peeds. I was listening to Libertine TODAY and thought to myself, I gotta make pd a cd of this. I bet she'll dig it. That was such an underrated album. (Including by me.) Say Yeah!
