Jurado's solo career began during the mid-1990s, releasing lo-fi folk based recordings on his own cassette-only label, Casa Recordings, beginning in 1995.
Jurado often makes use of found-sound and field-recording techniques, and has experimented with different forms of tape recordings. In 2000 he released Postcards and Audio Letters, a collection of found audio letters and fragments that he had found from sources such as thrift store tape players and answering machines. Also released in 2000 was Ghost of David,, Jurado's bleakest and most personal sounding record to date. I Break Chairs, (2002) was produced by long time friend, David Bazan. It was his last album for Sub Pop, and was a much rockier, electric affair. After signing for the Indiana-based label Secretly Canadian, Damien Jurado reverted to his trademark folk ballad-based style, releasing six more albums: Where Shall You Take Me? (2003), On My Way To Absence (2005), And Now That I'm In Your Shadow (2006), Caught in the Trees (2008), Saint Bartlett (2010) and Maraqopa (2012).

And seek and define the answers are easy to read
Face that inevitable
Open your eyes here comes a bigger part
You seek and define the answers are easy to read
The lyrics of "Inevitable" by Damien Jurado are a message of encouragement to the listener, telling them to face the challenges that life can bring head on. The song begins with the phrase "Open your eyes here comes a bigger part," which implies that the listener is about to face something significant, possibly a difficult situation. However, the following line suggests that there are answers available to help navigate these challenges, and that these answers are "easy to read."
The repetition of the phrase "Face that inevitable" throughout the song reinforces the idea that the listener should not shy away from difficult circumstances but rather confront them directly. The use of the word "inevitable" is particularly notable, as it implies that these challenges are not optional but rather an unavoidable part of life. Overall, the song serves as a reminder that while life's obstacles may be daunting, embracing and confronting them can ultimately lead to growth and personal development.
