I met you years ago but suddenly you're something else to me
your eyes are big your legs are short so short and sweet but I can see
I play with you, but you toy with me
Passion, can't hold still if I'm laughin'
One of these days it will happen
give me a chance and I'll try my best, try my best, try my best
I over-analyze, I'm certain I see signs in everything
but half the fun is deconstructing what you say to what you mean
I lust for you, you humor me
None of our friends will know, we'll keep it private, leave no trace or sign
the subtle linger in our hug might be the start of our demise
I wink at you, you roll your eyes
Passion, can't hold still if I'm laughin'
One of these days it will happen
give me a chance and I'll try my best, try my best, try my best, try my best
I'm not devout no I am not a very pious man
but I, I've spent more time in churches than I have in science labs
and I've not seen a sermon move a room like you when you at your best
I can't write a song to match the hymns they sing but nonetheless
If you let me try, I'll try my best
Passion, can't hold still if I'm laughin'
One of these days it will happen
give me a chance and I'll try my best, try my best, try my best, try my best
I love this album because it seamlessly combines a spoken word narrative with music. I love how sonically diverse it is!
I also love the fact that, even though the album is about a very specific life experience, the album contains emotions that feel very universal. Overall, it's a great listen. elainachristine
A solarpunk concept album set in the not-too-distant tomorrow, Tom John Hall uses elegantly wrought art rock to tell a winding tale. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 25, 2023
Bright, gorgeous, bashing songs from these Belgian shoegazers that never lose track of melody amidst the waves of distortion. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 23, 2023
Good god this hits something awful. Absolutely haunting and tragic and personal, and then that little snippet of "Will ye go, lassie, go" at the end sneaks in to hurt you. robin
