lyrics
It’s cold, a wind sweeps over Dallas. And it tastes like polyester. In the fall I'll try to find a balance. Like standing straight will get me anywhere.
It's a year since I set this plan in motion. In the fragile comfort of your room. Up north, and straight across the ocean, we also live on hope and fossil fuel.
And I suppose I'm no longer a ghost. Just a distant friend, how we once pretended that we could agree that there’s no more history. We would just depend on present tense. And then,
Out here the seasons are semesters. And Spark Notes count as literature. In a world that's new and brave and better. I somehow wish your face would just occur.
But I suppose you're no longer a ghost, just a distant friend. How we needed them back when we would agree that there's no more history. Just future tense, I won't defend now and then.
I suppose this is nothing but a toast to absent friends, at their expense we'll just wait and see if there's no more history. And just defend the present tense.
Daily focus-training coupled with strong work ethics pointed toward making life more bearable for others, could turn around this age for the better. This album is beautiful. A force for good. CHOSEN
Up there with Joe's best -- it feels like it pulls from every record he's done before while still being completely distinct from any Cymbals record in the way it combines the psychedelia and accessibility with some of the lushest, most ornately arranged music I've heard. Plus the guitars still rock, the solos fucking slap, and the ballads somehow slap just as hard. The narrative based lyrics also hit a sweet spot in Joe's lyricism -- direct but inventive, descriptive and endlessly compelling. Emmanuel Castillo
Like winter branches lined with snow and ice, Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Teen Suicide)'s latest is delicate, spare, melancholy, and beautiful. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 3, 2018
