Deidre House
Jacky Bastek is a singer-songwriter who employs a percussive fingerstyle technique for a full sound. I find the combination of somber existential lyrics with acrobatic guitar work to be guite poignant. This track is sweet, hope she releases an album soon!

This song is about the novel by Jean-Paul Sartre.
lyrics
Tell me all your shame
Confess to all your crimes
We're locked behind these walls
We must be damned souls
You seem a bit odd to me
As you have no control
Insanity creeps all over us
You must be my torturer
Hell is other people
They make my mind commit suicide
Please get me out of here
Or let these strangers disappear
I wish I had known
That there is no exit
This is not what I have sinned for
This is what I've suffered on earth
I'm trying to explore
Every possible floor
Of this maze that we call our minds
And ourselves
We're searching for an exit
that we'll never find
No harakiri would stop it this time.
We're deceased as we're gone
But alive enough to feel it
Alive enough to feel each other as a burden
I made love with my girlfriend so many times on this album. It is incredible. The songs are so beautiful and the rythm so well coordinated for this kind of moment... Anyway, always good to listen to it in the bus too Faugus
