Favorite Lines: "The actor upstairs memorizes his scene, cut out his heart just to trade it for a dream." ~ China Doll
"In the city tonight I can't sleep, cause your face is some strong caffeine" ~ Caffeine
"Now my tongue is trapped and my eyes they scream" ~ Blinking Watch
My Thoughts: Jim Hanft is an amazing songwriter. His ability to string together words and thoughts is like poetry on ice. He is very talented and very funny, but this album doesn't show how funny he is. For that you would need to go to a live show. This is an amazing debut by a promising talent and it is not to be missed. Kids - by the time you are reading this, Jim will already be a huge star and you can say my mom knew him when....
Reminds me of: backyard waltzing. sitting around for a late night concert with close friends, listening to jim and drinking beers.
Random Fact: Alot of Jim's songs are very personnel and touch on subjects of life in LA, meeting homeless people, love, bitchy sisters and the death of his father. ~ me
"Laughter and pain are two very similar emotions" says Jim, "when you combine the two you make people completely vulnerable yet completely comfortable at the same time." Jim quote from www.jimhanft.com
Caffeine - Love this video.
