SOME DAYS I DON'T STAND A CHANCE
IT'S DARK, I KNOW
MY FACE MIRRORS AT A GLANCE
YOU THINK YOU KNOW
THE THINGS I KNOW
YOU FEIGN TO KNOW
BUT IT'S DIFFERENT, IT'S DIFFERENT
WHEN THE WORLD FALLS APART, IT BREAKS MY HEART
BUT IT'S DIFFERENT, IT'S DIFFERENT
WHEN THE WORLD FALLS APART, IT BREAKS MY HEART
I WOULDN'T WISH IT ON ANYONE
SOME DAYS I WOULD NEVER STAND A CHANCE
SHE'S ON MY MIND
PARAMOUNT LOST PUTS ME EVER IN A TRANCE
YOU WERE HARD TO FIND
MEMORIES FADE, I COULDN'T TELL WHAT I FORGOT
FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE
WISH I COULD TRADE
BUT THAT WARRANTS SECOND THOUGHT
I'M BLESSED, I'M CURSED
BUT IT'S DIFFERENT, IT'S DIFFERENT
WHEN THE WORLD FALLS APART, IT BREAKS MY HEART
BUT IT'S DIFFERENT, IT'S DIFFERENT
WHEN THE WORLD FALLS APART IT BREAKS MY HEART
I WOULDN'T WISH IT ON ANYONE
AND IT CRUSHED ME
AND IT CRUSHES ME
I'M JUST BARELY HOLDING ON
IT CRUSHES ME EVERY DAY
I'M JUST BARELY HOLDING ON
AND IF I LET GO
IF I LET GO
I'M NEVER COMING BACK
I'M NEVER COMING BACK
WHEN EVERYTHING LOOKS BLACK
I'M JUST A MOMENT FROM THE SUN
THE WATER BREAKS MY BACK
AND I'M THE ONLY ONE
Idk if this is oddly particular but I would describe listening to this album like sitting at the edge of a stream and trying to cup the water that flows by: it doesn't matter how tightly you clasp on: it doesn't matter how slowly it leaks out: eventually, it will slip from your hands. It will return to where it came from, and you just have to let it happen.
It walks an EXTREMELY fine line between a very shaky sort of ethereality and a steadfast sense of vigor and life. Truly sublime stuff. qalsy
Seattle band somesurprises return with lofty, pretty dream pop that recalls the dissonant beauty of Broadcast, Grouper, and MBV. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 13, 2024
Burbling beneath the hazy beauty of the debut solo record from Lush co-founder Emma Anderson is razor-sharp wit and a heart full of rage. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2023
