i retraced our steps that we took from last summer
when the cock was crowing thricely in the dusk of our fountain lit
walks through apartments that you used to live in
the trees stretched out forever from the backs of our lawn chairs
we went to your garage
hustled by the rain
and thought to ourselves
oh, what multitudes do i contain
oh, what multitudes do i contain
oh, I thought as i sat in the rain
we drove down dakota without a good reason
our friends were starting fires though it was late in the season
we smoked in a circle, passing guitars
the shapes above us dancing don't care who we are
you walked me to the house
speaking of the pain of losing yourself
oh, what hope that i hope you obtain
oh, the joy that i know you contain
oh, i thought as you spoke of the pain

I-35

I hesitated on US highway 69 down to I-35
Cause it meant I was moving on
It's been weeks since I've seen your face
There was something
There was something
Now I'm building a home alone
Out on my own
And it will be months til I see you again
There was something
There was something
There was something in the way she moved me to a safer harbor

Silhouettes

Write your silhouettes,
and when you're done just tell me so.
You're not trying to find me,
but when I leave I'll let you know.
I'm not going to analyze
Only trying to fantasize
About your silver sunset rise
The molten chorus of your eyes
Little bits of stardust fly
Bottle up your notes
And leave them buried in the sand
Though you tire of treading
Keep hope for a distant land
Take a surge of sound
And let it ripple through your skin.
Disregard the lines
but let a couple of bodies in.
I'm not going to analyze
Only trying to fantasize
About your silver sunset rise
The molten chorus of your eyes
Little bits of stardust fly

Charm (Brazos Cover)

the circle is loaded
like a spinning typhoon
it's the first day of fall
in this cool air applause
skinny arms and all
how soft her scarf smells
cigarettes and camomile
her hair like a teenage song
unearthing swarms
alien and warm with charm
i feel summer sweeping out feel myself freezing like a water spout
darling of the shadow skull
where memory hides
waiting for the sight of charm
the glass is high filled up with funny fumes
and it brings a comfort that will soon consume
fill up this ragtop rising from the dumpster
for i am leaving soon and i'm trying hard to say that
everything that's green turns gold
i am touching her and she is touching me we're null

It feels like I only go backwards baby
Every part of me says "go ahead".
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards darling.
I know that you think, you sound
Silly when you call my name (my name)
But I get it inside my head all day.
When I realize I'm just holding onto
The hope that maybe
Your feelings don't show...
It feels like I only go backwards baby.
Every part of me says go ahead.
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards darling.
The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no,
'Cause I decided long ago.
But that's the way it seems to go when trying
So hard to get to something real,
It feels...
It feels like I only go backwards darling,
Every part of me says "go ahead".
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards darlin'.

Anachrome recommends:
Yellow Trumpet Comforter Swan
by Majetic
CARE's lyrics scoop the vigor out of life like pitting a cherry, and their instrumentation is a well-oiled machine that's equal parts energy and charisma.
go to album
This album has a jam synth sensibility that feels lithe and alive. My Leather, My Fur, My Nails especially hits the spot for me.
go to album
Nathan K. has an honest voice for honest lyrics, and his conversational style winds around deep topics in a way that's reminiscent of Woolf.
