elvis perkins 

1. büyük ihtimale hiçbir zaman iyi taninamayacak ama hep olduğu ve çaldığı yerde insanları uzay gemileriyle dünyanin dışına çıkaracak olan insan.
   elvis perkins 2007 yılında ilk ve şuanki tek albümü ash wednesday' ı piyasaya çıkardı. babası birkaç film dışında hollywood' da pek başrol oynayamayan anthony perkins' i 17 yaşında, annesini ise 11 eylül saldırılarında kaybetmiş olması, şarkılardaki burukluğun sabebine dair ipuçları veriyor. bob dylan' a olan benzerliği hem sesinde hem de müziğinde göze çarpıyor; leonard cohen' i de unutmamak gerek elbet.
   şahsi görüşüme göre, albümdeki en iyi parçalar ilk iki şarkı olan while you were sleeping ve all the night without love. pek çok şey söylenebilir bu şarkılar ve albüm hakkında, ancak en iyisi tabi ki dinlemek, ve bu 'iyi adamı' tanımak.

2. while you were sleeping' in eşsiz sözleri şöyledir.
   
   while you were sleeping
   the babies grew
   the stars shined and the shadows moved
   time flew, the phone rang
   there was a silence when the kitchen sang
   its songs competed like kids for space
   we stared for hours in our maker's face
   they gave us picks
   said go mine the sun
   and gold and come back when you're done
   while you were sleeping
   you tossed, you turned
   you rolled your eyes as the world burned
   the heavens fell, the earth quaked
   i thought you must be, but you weren't awake
   no, you were sleeping
   you ignored the sun
   you grew your power garden
   for your little ones
   and you found brides for them on christmas eve
   they hung young cain from the adam trees
   and danced
   while you were sleeping
   i tossed and i turned
   til i closed my eyes
   but the future burned
   through the planet turned a hair gray
   as i relived the day
   while you were sleeping
   the money died
   machines were harmless and the earth sighed
   through the wind you slept sound
   and gravity caught my love around
   the ocean rose, sang about decay
   while witches flew
   and the mermaids stayed
   full of dreams, you overslept
   and keeping with quiet, through the walls i crept
   i walked on tiptoe, sent darkness swirling over all the kitchen in the early morning
   i'll never catch up to you
   who sleeps so sound
   my arms are useless
   my heart beats too loud to go to sleep
   my mind's too crowded
   while you were sleeping
   the time changed
   all your things were rearranged
   your vampire mirrors face to face
   they saw forever out into space
   and found you dreaming in black and white
   while it rained in all the colors of the night
   i watched the tvs
   memories
   championships
   vanished to sea
   could it be, my honey between you and me
   so i waited for the riddled sky
   to dissolve again by sunrise
   and i've made a death suit for life
   for my father's ill widowed wife
   did you have that strangest dream before you woke
   cos in your gown you had the butterfly stroke
   did it escape you like some half told joke?
   when you reached for your plume of smoke
   it'll haunt you, my honey bee
   anyone who is anyone has that same dream
   were you falling
   were you flying
   and were you calling out
   or were you dying
   thank god you're up now
   let's stay that way
   else there'll be no mornings
   and no more day.
   cos when we're dreaming
   our babies grow
   the sun shines
   and the shadows flow
   time flies
   the phone rings
   there is a silence
   and everybody tries to sing
