JMW2000 One of the most underrated acts of 2017. A fantastically consistent indie pop/rock album with many jams and catchy choruses and riffs. Favorite track: summer's gone.

dkelvin This is a true gem with songs Ray Davies would love to write these days. Some should be standards, would we live in a world where to have taste still meant something. Strongly emotional this will be the music of spring for many as it is for me. Favorite track: chasing down the sun.

I can feel it in my brain somedays & drinkings the only way to forget what i have heard and learned of integrals and right angles & i dont know if im sure that im sure of anything anymore so ill take whats given me quietly and dream of the days before my friend when you would call me on the phone when youd call me just because theres always something on your mind that said my matt what big teeth you have & if youd close your eyes instead and youd love some just because, just close your eyes instead & youd be free a bird can ever be I can feel it in my bones these drones are coming down to destroy everybody that i know OH NO guess thats just the way it goes & i dont know if im sure that im sure of anything anymore so ill take whats given me quietly and dream of the days before my friend.

eyes 03:39

h. roark 03:00
buildings are all the same nothing new, nothing changed at all & henry's the only one sees right through he said "you're too good for what you do!" you have the silver spoon in your mouth gonna chip your tooth build 'em so fucking tall that if you fall you would never even hit the ground
6.
Sitting at the end of the bar It's two for one drinks & I'm one drink too far It's times like these I seem to picture you Wonder do you still find joy in simple things? Like the earth beneath your feet As autumn leaves fall soft & swept away It's funny how the years they seem to fade I can't seem to picture your face anymore bet you're still lovely as can be But are you lonely just like me? As autumn leaves fall soft & swept away
7.
What does it mean? I see a shadow on the street Is it really me? Or am I imaginary? cuz summer's gone & I don't wanna be in this place anymore I don't wanna see your face anymore When the water meets the shore and erodes all the people you grew out of with your clothes they come & go What does it mean? I see my photo on the screen Is it really there? Or am I just hyperaware? I don't mind, that you're not mine (anymore)

I don't mind, that you're not mine Ça ne me dérange pas que tu ne sois pas le mien

why? 02:23
there's a hole in your head and it lets all the sunlight right in what will grow no one knows water the seed maybe you will grow old. when you die there will be no one left at your side but, you know im no good with sentences no good with these conversations & after a while it is plain to see, that there's a hole in my head where i used to dream of people and colors and things blend together eventually right in front of me splitting at the seams as theyre meant to be. why? i dont know.
10.
im waking at the break of dawn to call you on the telephone & tell you mama i dont feel alright tell you mama i dont feel at all like i used to. & Ill call you on the telephone tell you mama i feel so all alone tell you mama i dont feel alright tell you mama i dont feel at all like i used to.
11.
autumn leafs 03:12
autumn leafs are on their way, and i met you just the other day wont you sit and stay for a while with me, maybe? seasons change & seasons go with parallelograms in the snow wont you walk on that old ocean floor with me, maybe? so cut the cord. when i need you more than i needed you before & lonely nights and all those other guys they tell you so, hold on.
12.
frozen lakes 03:45
Sometimes before When you promised, that you'd promise sometimes I'd see you suddenly disappear & It's 12 long hours Till the sunrise & I can put on my sunglasses again Pretend that I'm like you (like you) When it shines like diamonds at your feet The sidewalks shining just for me How long will you stay? How long till I'll say? Meet you out on those frozen lakes
13.
they say you're savant say you're savant say you're a wordsmith, but your word is myth when you turn yourself on turn yourself off a newfound nouveau a calloused cold you cried "i saw the light! i seen the light! i saw the light leave your dyin' eyes but your cat has nine lives cat has nine lives cat has nine lives left so live a bit before you're dead and gone and the worms are all crawlin on you time marches on time marches on time marches westward with the setting sun on these old afternoons nothing to do nothing is something when it's spent with you because i love you more i love you more i love you this much (no this much) but still time marches on time marches on time marches westward with the setting sun & when the setting's done and the mobs are all crawling on you oh mama im sick of it all

All the troubadours, are staring down the sun. their pain dont hurt anyone, dont hurt anyone else. so they called em off, called em on the phone. said "your baby is comin home" We're all chasing down the sun so they called em off & called her on the phone. Then theyll hold you like youre the only one. but you bleed just like anyone else. we're all chasing down the sun.
