'I’m at an age now ... where I don’t care what you think. I’ll tell you anyway!” Robbie Robertson tells us about his most personal new album in years 'Sinematic'
But other, more autobiographical songs emerged from Robertson’s memoir writing, starting with his 2016 bookand continuing with its in-the-works follow-up. “I absolutely think there’s a connection there,” he says. “It opens a door and some fresh air comes in and things that used to feel too smoky and now aired out a little. It feels good to shed that skin.”
But the album’s most emotive track, “Once Were Brothers,” shares a title with a documentary on Robertson and the Band and both celebrates and mourns his times with the group, three of whom are now dead. “When the curtain comes down on the final act,” Robertson sings, “And you know deep inside there’s no going back.
Assisting Robertson along the way were collaborators like Citizen Cope, Glen Hansard, DJ Howie B and Robertson’s old friendThe King of Comedy Robertson says he explained the meaning of the title to Van Morrison. “‘I hear you paint houses’ is kind of gruesome in a way — it’s an expression for when you want to hire a killer,” Robertson says. “’Painting houses’ refers to the splattering of blood. I said, ‘Hey, you want to sing on a song about splattering blood and a guy who kills people?’ But he liked that.”
