My(A)Game

If I stay angry I can
Forget how sad I am
I could try to fight
But it’s become quite a trait of mine
Okay, okay
Who needs you on your A game today
Okay, okay
who needs you on your A game today
These selfish actions
Always get romanticised
The pain the grief
Must be Monetised
Okay, okay
Who needs you on your A game today
okay, oaky
Who needs you on your A game today
I’ve been inside myself putting everything to trial
When I should have been beside you tryna make you smile
Okay, okay
Do you need me on my A game today?
Okay, okay
Do you need me on my A Game today

Howling At The Moon
03:45
|

|
Can't email or text
Cannot call ya
Or Facetime
Can't cross the Irish sea
Sail towards ya
On the Stena Line
So if this limbs can't stretch
Hallmark words can't mend
Ohh..... I'm howling at the moon
When this overwhelms
The past keeps you for itself
Ohh.... I'm howling at the moon
I search for cures in slaty water
Like the sea is dry
I wish I had your sense of humour
In the darkest times
When I can't emote
scream into pillows
Ohh... I'm howling at the moon
When this overwhelms
The past keeps your for itself
Ohhh... I'm howling at the moon
How can I be closer yo you?
I wanna feel like nobody else does

Clam Creek Picnic Area

|
Echoes flutter and bare such weight
Cut shot to the mundane
The big shop on a grey Tuesday
Or in the car at night in rain
If fine with you I'll be holding on
Finding room in all that's taken up
The recipes all read the same
But the food has lost its taste
The rules foreign to these old card games
Paul Simon songs don't hit the same
If fine with you I'll be holding on
Finding room in all that's taken up
Where does all that love
You had in you
Go now?

Climbing dead trees on Driftwood Beach
Climbing dead trees on Driftwood Beach
Memories all out at sea
Only some swim back to me
My brand management
Opinion columns
All washed up
Finding peace, don't ask me I don't know
Just leave me here and I will be a happy ghost
Finding peace, don't ask me I don't know
Just leave me here and I will be a happy ghost
Do we get back the sleep it takes?
Do we get back the sleep it takes?
They say work hard you'll stay safe
Bring a God just in case
I wish there was a Heaven I knew
We were heading to
Finding peace, don't ask me I don't know
Just leave me here and I will be a happy ghost
Finding peace, don't ask me I don't know
Just leave me here and I will be a happy ghost

It's A Wonderful Life
02:55
|
|||
|
If you’ve the time
It’s a wonderful life
Ladders to climb
New diets to try
Ways to fill days
Compare your rent and wage
For your age
Oh I wish I had
Never wished I wasn’t here
Oh I wish I hadn’t
Ever wished I wasn’t here
If you’ve the time
It’s a wonderful life
Emails to write
Self help subscribed
All to get you through
But I can’t lasso the moon for you
Oh I wish I had
Never wished I wasn’t here
Oh I wish I hadn’t
Ever wished I wasn’t here
If you’ve the time
It’s a wonderful life
Get drunk and drive
Off bridges we fly
All these things to do
But I can’t lasso the moon
For you

Pushing Three Stars
02:45
|
|||
|
Wipe the dust from your lips
Like the old bits in the attic
You swore you’d use
You swore you’d use
There’s creepy crawlies in the duvet
The cities snoring and I’m still awake
So let go
That mind must have done it’s rounds
Just keep what was lost
Where it was found
Scrub the rust from your heart
Freshen up you’re pushing 3 stars
Invite them in
And offer things
Simplify with a snappy quote
These complex emotions we know
So let go
That mind must have done its rounds
Just keep what was lost
Where is was found

Little Magic

You’re still my straight line aha
And I’ll return to you all the time
There’s no room for that weight in my house
We’re gonna need a little magic in here

Jekyll Island
03:22
|
|||
|
When the right words fall silent
When I'm done tryna find them
I'll be on Jekyll Island
With my feet up
My memories learnt to swim
Each wave is magnetic
The future is just as scared of us
As we are of it
With your heart as my vessel there isn't a storm I can't brave
I'm an old rusty compass in all but the literal way
With your heart as my vessel I've learnt to live with the waves
You part the waves between us
The waves between us
Didn't you?

Lonely Astronaut: Chapter 1(Deluxe Edition)
by To The Stars We Return
supported by 10 fans who also own “If I Stay Angry I Can Forget How Sad I Am”
The 2nd track, Dark Matters is my fave: it's synthwave with guitar parts that sound like an instrumental outtake from The Cure. Would've loved more of that. The rest is primarily epic synth /piano soundtrack territory with a smattering of pumping 80s beats. Looking forward to more.
go to album
A solarpunk concept album set in the not-too-distant tomorrow, Tom John Hall uses elegantly wrought art rock to tell a winding tale.
go to album
The latest from Virgo Rising threads soft, earnest vocals through a latticework of indie rock guitars.

Spring Rites
by Tannhauser Orchestra
Bright, gorgeous, bashing songs from these Belgian shoegazers that never lose track of melody amidst the waves of distortion.
