my life, a slow clap progression
pace rising
to celebrate in the smallest finding
feels right to show admiration that grows
I’ll make a good first impression,
smiling
I'll learn how love comes in different sizes
the kinds you know
hiding ones that you don’t
a waking true observation
he keeps a lot
that’s impressive
I’ll try my hands at collecting
now I am holed in my family home
I’ll look at waves of affection
more sweetly
I'll start to get nothing's smoothed out neatly
no time to fold and unfold and refold
I won’t take the grit of confession way lightly
I can forget what invokes unsightly emotion (lalala)
a waking true observation

Do Your Worst
01:56
|
|||
|
do the worst that you can
fucking up the number
that’s my scene
liar to the public over again
I don’t know why things change for the better
on Monday
I’m dying to say 'the end'
in another pretense
we’d unmask that
FACE INTO THE MIRROR
now one day
I'm tempted to heal myself with another defense
I'm looking past that
FACE INTO THE MIRROR

Wait In The Doorway
02:22
|
|||
|
how to be in the modern places:
I can meet where you want,
I’ll take me no pleasurable destination
to feel alone in
we’re holding the door
20 and four
lie down on the elevator
draw me with the carbon paper
breath in in a room of vapor talk about the world
and feel it wholesome
hello,
wait in the doorway don’t look back
I will be sure that wait in the doorway don’t look back
I will be sure that at least today, we wait
at least today we wait
turning heel via moderation
say a prayer on the wooden placemat
no pressure nor hesitation
I feel evolved when you open the door
hold me and more
who are you, investigator?
where where you before and later?
tell me when to meet my maker
talk about yourself I'm feeling social and alone
hello hello
wait in the doorway wait in the doorway don’t look back
I will be sure
at least today we wait at least today we wait
At least today

can you believe it?
bit of green on the street in the distance
are you released yet?
follow me downtown on the weekend
here’s a hole in the foot of the pasture
here’s a thorn in my side, a disaster
you can get by with your own supply
you can paint the pale
you could tell a lie
we can ride with the top down,
ferris style
then a-walk to back of the line a mile
well you know how you never perceived this?
minutes clean of debris in the distance
are you relieved yet?
follow me downtown on the weekend
can we get high, can we wave goodbye?
we can turn to pale and believe the lie
you can tell me to go never leave your side
then I'll run to the back of the line a mile
well you know how you never perceive this?
so I chase the moment’s pieces
nothing seemed to show no weakness
deepened in the deeper deepness
all the time they repeat
can you believe it?
shallowly breathe on the seed of a secret
are you at peace yet?
follow me downtown on the weekend
Can You Believe It?

Further The Thrill
03:00

|

sure enough
I will notice it's the role I’ve taken
that will further the thrill of it
while something like truth
administered healing
nearing the bottom
I’ve felt right and I felt raw existence
in a similarly different location
it runs me
yeah, it runs it all
I could let you go though
four fingers on the jacket
for figures on the table weighed down
with a low key reverie
spreading like a fable
soft love, doled in little crumbs
chemical received, sure
going anywhere near you
tell me how to go and I’m gonna be there
I don’t wanna be about all I see
so what if we lie low lightly lie low lie lie
sure enough
I will notice it's the role I’ve taken that will
further the thrill of it while some kinda truth
administered healing
nearing the bottom
I’ve felt right and I felt raw
in a similar or different location
it runs me
yeah, it runs it all
I could let you go though
(but what if we lie low lightly lie low lie, lie?)

Lately
03:25
|
|||
|
oh lately
would I have to beg
to make the long time wrong time now?
with no means to make it happen who'll make it happen?
woke up
where the morning first died
a kind of bruise that formed in front of you
amid bone-coloured light
and the means to make it happen
or nothing happen
was that when the wind it blew all twisted in the sky?
and then came a newer ocean crashing ancient ire
and all of the big and bold and beautiful survived?
what then,
would it happen?
oh lately
you’ve said it once and you’ve said it once twice what’s that,
you never wanted?
last good advice...
I give you until the end of the world
or until we pull the prize
to stack all the piles of words,
and miles that seem mistook
and leap off the mound at half the dumbness of a look
ignore every triple moment I misunderstood
now I wanna spin around and rocket off asleep
and be sure the whole thing arrives fine in a big heap
and lay where the water bent the river perfectly
oh lately

Underwater Song
02:22
|
|||
|
rusty and slow
we’ll forget about the notes and try to sing sweet
as M I N T
recalling it all
so forcibly
good day the rest is all underwater song
but know I am partial to the pearl it’s what I see
and try to take seriously
out in the back room
I stay there all the time asking sublime thoughts
bouncing off the walls I’m not there at all no
know I am partial to the pearl It’s what I see
and try to take seriously

Years In My Mirage
03:23
|
|||
|
watch my head fall easy tumble—
body follows, crumpled temple
every land made destroyed anew
and still the next one won’t refrain to
felt the sun glare squinting up there starry eye-line,
hard to compare less of what won
more of what waned
every part spent every line saved for
YEARS IN MY MIRAGE
was it clear to you?
count the whole case
place a value
dot the map traced
chasing pursuits
afterall it’s the journey that kills you
watch the step now
down the back way
for the next four do what I say:
don’t you let go
let them complain
leave a spark still
help me explain for
YEARS IN MY MIRAGE
was it clear to you?
YEARS IN MY MIRAGE

Take It Away
02:47
|
|||
|
gotta get the picture of the people in love
they’re on their way, you could take it today
if you want a picture with the people where you’re from,
go there today and take it away
push that button,
not so fun
press it anyway, now to document the day
if you had to summit, another mountain done
go there today,
you can take it away
get there today and take it away
that does it! and I’m on my way,
borrowed a plane at noon today
I am sure that we’re gonna see
when you say what you saw to who is close to me we’re taking it in
I’m feeling young again too
but things are lost and found with the world that I love
dynamite blown, and pulling the teeth
all terrifying action
while we’re moving great
if I had to tell you in a brand new way
in a little way I want to
and no way I want to
go in, see a show tonight and it’s mighty bright
go in, see a show
push that button
not so fun
but press it anyway now to document the day
if you had to summit another mountain done
get there today you can take it away
go there today and take it away
go in, see a show tonight and it’s mighty bright

Noon Riser
02:49
|

|
O noon riser fairer price
I never pay
take it back I feel ashamed
all nighter
ground of cloud and feet of flame
beat em back and meet the rain
where have you been then and now?
from a blanked out bridge of doubt
the apartment
cramped like crowds
take it back, take it back
blue-eyed sir
stopped to say he’d seen your pain lean him backward
down the drain
Noon Riser
frowning at a mouth I made you a guess
they’d bait the take
where will you be running out,
towards a love measured in half?
through the smallest gesture meanwhile,
in the moonlight it's quiet
I will walk in glowing flower beds
moody footprints, pebble phantoms, the rest
we are more than all that we confess
take it back, take it now
take it back, take it back

Hunger for a Way Out

Can't listen w/o hearing Young Marble Giants, but a more nervous, taut take. All the tracks are great, but can't stop humming the title to myself.

Start to finish amazing album. "Belinda Says" hits me right in the feels every time. Molly's range from the first, quiet "moving to the country" part to her last word in "we'll start another life" takes me on a trip I never want to end :)
go to album
The songs on the latest from Absolutely Free feel as expansive as a cloudless sky, with ringing guitars and bright-eyed melodies.
