    THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED DEBUT!

    “Tuchscherer’s ability to create such an engaging collection of sad songs and waltzes should ensure that You Get So Alone At Times That It Just Makes Sense will be a contender for an appearance on any year-end list.”
    – Americana UK – (8/10)

    “An impressive collection of 12 well-crafted songs… It’s an excellent debut that reminds us of Ryan Adams’ Heartbreaker in its thematic and emotional impact – a great compliment indeed.”
    R2 (Rock N Reel) – (4/5)

    “My only excuse for not reviewing this fabulous album sooner is that I was too busy playing it, over and over. This album should be heard and then celebrated.“
    Northern Sky – (4/5)

    “Totally memorable… Luke Tuchscherer successfully pulls off an impressive and moreish debut.”
    – Right Chord Music

    “Luke is a terrific lyricist who gains a deep sympathy for his songs’ leading characters, although it is not just the power of the lyrics. His warm evocative vocal style has a natural dramatic quality and the arrangements couldn’t really be improved upon. An outstanding album that contains absolutely no filler.”
    – American Roots UK

    “This record is awash with top notch writing, stellar playing and more importantly connects instantly. The decision made by Luke Tuchscherer to follow his heart and veer down this path has been rewarded with a strong emotive album right at the core of what makes this genre so special. You Get So Alone At Times That It Just Makes Sense should possess two warnings: not for the faint heart but essential for those who know good music.”
    – Three Chords & The Truth

    “His sincerity oozes through his lusciously rough voice… genuinely heartbreaking.”

lyrics

My papa left before I was one,
My mama don’t know where he’s at,
She spends her days cleaning rich folks’ homes,
And in the evening she’s laid out on her back.
My brother, he’s in prison, it’s been two long years,
And I dream of his face at night,
You know I’ve been lonely such a long, long time,
I’ve been lonely for most of my life.

My sister’s got a baby, means the world to me,
And I want a better world for him,
But she don’t know the father and she’s hooked on smack
And that baby’s paying for her sins.
Well, me and my friends, we should be at school,
But the teacher he don’t give a damn,
So we just hang out in the city park,
You know the papers like to call us a gang.

Then one time we got in a fight
And the police came and drove us away,
I turned a corner, felt a hand on my arm
And realised I was gonna pay.
The copper said, “now, what’s this son?”
As he pointed to the butt of my knife,
I wanted to say, “you know, this ain’t me,
But I’ve been lonely for most of my life”.

I’m too young to do any time
And I’m a hero to my friends now,
Cos I didn’t say nothing ‘bout any of them,
But if I had I’d be dead anyhow.
Then one day one of the older boys came,
Gave me a package that felt like a gun,
Slipped me a twenty to stash it away
And said, “you’re one of us now son”.
