"Friend of Mine" performed by The Grays on their one and only album "Ro Sham Bo", released in 1994.
Lyrics:
A friend of mine once asked me the key to tranquility
And without my obvious and worn-out reply;
"I don't know, it's individual
We're all different and nothing's universal"
I took my time
Combed my mind for something of value
And after much deliberation I've found
No matter how much time
Your luck's as good as mine
You've got to find yourself
In your heart there's so much
I sleep with angels
But devils wake me up
And remind me of all the wicked little things
That torture us all with curiosity
I throw them out
Apologies for misunderstanding
But we'll meet again
And have another sip of vanity
In spite of all these deviations I've found
No matter how much time
Your luck's as good as mine (yes it is)
You've got to find yourself
In your heart there's so much wealth
Yeah, yeah
No matter how much time
Your luck's as good as mine
You've got to find yourself
In your heart there's so much wealth
No matter how much time (no matter how much time)
Your luck's as good as mine (yeah)
You've got to find yourself (yes you do)
In your heart there's so much wealth (yeah)
No matter how much time (it doesn't matter how much time)
Your luck's as good as mine (yeah)
You've got to find yourself
In your heart there's so much wealth (yeah)
No matter how much time
Your luck's as good as mine
You've got to...

I got to see The Grays at 328 in Nashville in 95. I spent over an hour hanging out with Jason after the show talking about music, life, and what a-holes Andy Sturmer and Roger Manning from Jellyfish are for how they did him wrong. Jason is such a real talent, and this one of the most overlooked albums ever.

.....Jellyfish was what came to mind listening to this. Their only 2 records are the stuff of legend. This reminds me of them - songwriting wise. Jason Falkner is on this?

I think possibly Faulkner and Manning buried the hatchet as they performed some Jellyfish tunes live together not too long ago. Sturmer is a weird guy so not sure there.

I have this album on tape only, and keep old stereos just so I can play it. That's how good Ro Sham Bo is, 18 years on.

This is my 'Desert Island Album' (RoShamBo). If I only had one bit of music to take with me to solitude and loneliness - or worse, if I suffered as Beethoven - I would cram-listen to this on repeat to memorize it (more than I already can re-play it now). It isn't just Falkner - his writing of this song, and many others on this album, are dynamic and amazing beyond compare. Yet - the true collaboration of the singularly talented 4 musicians and the song writing on display from the start to the finish of this album is beyond compare as well. I'd mark into the production and mixing talents - but this would be a book by the time I was done espousing the thoughts. If I had to have a soundtrack to listen to while "piloting" a dead star-ship into a black-hole, this would be what I chose to play (followed only by Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C♯ minor "Quasi una fantasia", Op. 27, No. 2 - Moonlight sonata, all 3 movements).

Had never heard of the Grays until a few or so years ago. Strange. Perhaps it was the wealth and diversity of music going down in the 90's that it completely went over my radar (like a lot of 90's Power Pop). Nevertheless, I've got to buy this album- a clear case of better late than never.
