about

“Desperate Man” is a fist-pounding, Springsteen-like rock ’n roller about the unhealthy edges of throwing everything out on the line for love. I wrote it during the pandemic lockdown and recorded just months after moving to Athens in late November 2020. Like love, this song has gone through the wringer. 3 years, multiple mixes and rerecorded parts, it finally feels like the sound I’ve been chasing. Believe me, I’m DESPERATE to let it go.

lyrics

You know you’re dealing with a desperate man
He’s gonna try to get you however he can

He don’t know no magic
He don’t talk to god
He don’t believe in heaven
Hell you’re all he’s got

He ain’t no dead beat no has-been kid
He’s just in love and that changes a man

He’s got a strong back
He ain’t afraid to cry
He don’t believe in hell so
Lord he ain’t afraid to die

Give a little patience
Try to understand
You know you’re dealing with a desperate man

about

Spencer Thomas Athens, Georgia

“The songs of Spencer Thomas make you think about listening to your dad’s records. They’re familiar yet unique. Some hear hints of Springsteen’s Darkness on the Edge of Town in the cadence of Thomas’s melodies. Others hear tones of Jackson Browne’s For Everyman with a similar lyrical attention to detail." ... more
