英文摇滚歌曲：Radical Face - Kin

Ben Cooper is more than just a musician: he’s a storyteller, and a good one at that. Cooper, who previously¹ was one-half of Electric President, brings his voice to the table as Radical² Face and has now completed the second installation of his musical trilogy, The Family Tree.
The Family Tree centers around Cooper’s fascination³ with history, genealogy⁴ and fictional⁵ events. Although the story of the Northcotes is more mythology⁶ than history, Cooper has taken elements from people in his life to create this musical story.

歌词：

Song：Ghost Towns
Artist：Radical Face

grandma's singing in the bedroom
it's a near forgotten lullaby
that she used to sing when I wasn't well
father's outside chopping firewood
like he did when he'd been drinking
or when he and mom were at it again

grandpa's rocking chair is rocking
I can hear the wood complaining
and the idle taps as he empties his pipe
I do my best to just ignore them
but the sound always finds me
despite them being dead and gone

I hear them all the time
I hear them all the time
I hear them all the time
I hear them all the time

I hear you all the time
I feel you in my mind
I cannot sleep, but I'm tryin'
I hear you all the time
