Overview

The Forgetful's Reminders On Love, Loss, Lunacy & Leaving A collection of song lyrics & poetry by Tom Rush. Illustrations by Masa Bojanic. Even as a little kid, Tom Rush had a fascination with words. Except his interactions didn't come through traditional poets or outlets. For him, it was the singers and bands heard on Oldies radio stations and cassette tapes played in his room. Having to know every word being sung, he'd sit and scribble down what he was hearing, reading the confirmed lyrics over and over to make sure he got them just right. One day while listening, he wondered, how can new songs still be written? Hasn't everything already been written about? That curiosity grew into an obsession with writing lyrics of his own. This collection is a result of that obsession. Not everything found in this collection is necessarily a song lyric. Some are and have become realized through collaborations with various musicians. As for the rest, they're poetry. Each is an experience had, moment observed or story of raw realism relayed, serving as reminders of the shared bonds between us over love, loss, lunacy and leaving.
