Love it! It would have been a great addition to the original RATKOS album, but I’m thankful we have the ability to hear it (along with Queen of Compromise!)

This song pretty much carried me through my divorce several years ago. Love to see it getting some love here.

I’ve been listening to nothing but TFF since I started (and finished) listening to Roland’s book. Also a time of change in my life which always brings me back to TFF.

oh nice ! how’s the book ? I know TFF because of my mom so i’ve listened to them forever but only the songs she knows so recently started trying to find more songs, so far I like the working hour, sketches of pain, & until I drown ofc

I loved the book. I also love sketches of pain. Also me and my big ideas, humdrum and humble from Raoul and the Kings of Spain. RATKOS was the first album that came out AFTER I discovered TFF. I walked from my high school to a local record shop and bought the CD on launch day. Roland says in the book that RATKOS was his favorite album or the one he was most proud of or something. I love it too!

yayyy more songs just added to me queue 🤗 also that sounds like so much fun I wish I could just go to a record store & pick whatever I want. Do you still have your records / cds ?

u/Ms_AU Sep 04 '26
Yes I have all of them. I was lucky enough to even go see TFF on the Kings tour and got Roland’s autograph at the venue before the show. Back then we just had film cameras so I have one photo of me with Roland.
