Chris Bell - I Am The Cosmos


Back to our Ardent affection...

Take a stab at the title track and you've had heartwrenching defined for you in textbook fashion. Now add into the recipe the fact that Bell died tragically, struggled with his sexual identity and this heart-wrenching piece of work darn near hits 'insurmountable.'


More on Bell from Crawdaddy


He wasn’t John Lennon—the world could only handle one of those, and even then it had to cut his life tragically short—but Chris Bell was a complex and talented artist who occasionally mustered the strength to roll over and look up to the cosmos even when laying in the gutter. Luckily for those who care to listen, he even wrote some songs while he was down there.
