lyrics

Pedagogy
I don’t know enough the names of the trees.
And there’s not enough time to learn everything.
A boy beat by a woman beat by men.
A girl stood nose to the wall by a grandfather.
Where did it all begin? It’s a hole in the yard.
I subsist on sunlit wooden floorboards
in an empty Sunday bar. Worried into the glass
what am I to say? Live on almost nothing.
Visit what you feel on no one.
Occasional unwashed attention
is not love.
Kindness hides in a quiet one
with books and maybe a frown,
and a special outfit worn just for you.
Of course, you’re anxious about being horrible.
We’re all anxious about being horrible.
A reach to the wrist, a laugh, they will sting.
Tell each other. Tell each other. Tell each other.
Then sleep with the weight of suffering gone
quiet and warm against you.
Don’t worry the wounds of the mouth,
They are singing.

moments of astounding beauty & surprisingly moving instrumental gems, somehow still mined from these seemingly finite and familiar forms. "gigolo" is the best bootlegged "vu"/"another view" outtake that the feelies never wrote. addendum: for anyone hesitant to buy due to comments posted here in the past about fulfillment - i have zero complaints with this order. the wax shipped within 5 days and arrived in perfect shape 9 days after ordering. thx sb. cactus libre

Her voice, the vulnerability within, and a glorious sound, not overproduced but natural. 'Tender Heart' gets me - resonates in a way that is sad and glorious simultaneously. Discordant guitars behind a clean acoustic and voice ballad. Love her voice, her lyrics. Great album. BikeBoy29
