As the first song on the record Son of Man really sets the tone for the coming journey both sonically and lyrically. This tape saturated, Shuggie Otis inspired psychedelic 6/8 ballad introduces the themes of feeling lost and confronting the patriarchy. Also fun fact My name Benjamin Adams loosely translates some of the lyrics in Hebrew.
lyrics
Where's the way out of this den of thieves
In a summer glow
And my spirit is low
Son of man in a sea of pride
I lost the road
Now I reap what I sow
A snake in the grass
The son of my right hand
Sweet is the flow from the well of life
With a heart of stone
I can't find it alone
So humble I sow with my secrets low
Where the spirits grow
and streams of certainty flow
It's only four tracks, yes, but it's four tracks of great cosmic psychedelia.
