Funny isn't it how year's not too long ago back . A regional accent would be deemed uncouth and disregarded out of hand . Yet when you hear Grain speak in his true voice . It only seems to amplify and adds way far more gravitas and meaning to his word. I don't know can't exactly put my finger or nail down the how why or what. But since hearing and first discovering him recently on Later with Jools playing Fairies. My life from that moment on has never quite been the same. It merely keeps getting better and better with everything new I learn about and from him . And I am so eternally grateful thankful obliged and appreciative to him.

Six o'clock. The burnt-out ends of smoky days. And now a gusty shower wraps The grimy scraps Of withered leaves about your feet And newspapers from vacant lots; The showers beat On broken blinds and chimney-pots, And at the corner of the street A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps. And then the lighting of the lamps.”
It is counted as an allusion/reference to this poem, not plagiarism. As it is different, while borrowing a few lines from the poem. But they did say that it’s the line from TS Elliot.
From interview: “I’d been reading a lot of poetry, specifically Preludes by T.S. Eliot - he makes your mind drift off into romanticism, and then quickly snaps it back into reality - and I remember I shot out of my chair and wrote down just the first line (“None can pull the passion loose from youth’s ungrateful hands”).”. Poem seems to be popular enough to understand that “Too Real” is reading of “Preludes”.
