James Timothy "Tim" Holland, Jr. (born September 25, 1977), better known by his stage name Sole, is an American underground hip hop artist from Portland, Maine. He is one of eight co-founders of the record label Anticon. He has been a member of the groups Northern Exposure, Live Poets, Deep Puddle Dynamics, So-Called Artists, Da Babylonianz, Sole and the Skyrider Band and Waco Boyz.
Sole started listening to rap in 2nd/3rd grade after hearing a song in a movie which made him want to write raps himself. His cousin would emcee battle at elementary school recess and he would help her write over the phone, these being maybe the first rhymes he wrote. In middle school, a kid down the street had a karaoke machine and they would make loops by rewinding the tape. Around this time, Tim started going to open mics and people were impressed with how someone so young could rap so well and so fast. Others saw this as an opportunity and different deejays took him under their wing to help him get into studios.
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my heart, love is blindness.
I'm in a parked car, on a crowded street
And I see my love made complete.
The thread is ripping, the knot is slipping
Love is blindness.
Love is clockworks and is cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel.
Squeeze the handle, blow out the candle
Blindness (blindness)
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love,
Blindness.
A little death without mourning
No call, no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense.
Love is drowning in a deep well
All the secrets, and nobody else to tell.
Take the money, why don't honey?
Blindness.
Love is blindness, I'm so sick, I don't want to see
Won't you just take the night, wrap it all around me?
Oh, my love,
Blindness.
Love is blindness
I'm too numb to feel
Blow out the candles
