lyrics
And O, for now
That fight won’t fade
And it’s awful how
That line degrades
On account of fits from the other side
I would count those waves on a boat
Fool around, unfit for the other’s eyes
As the fates all filled up with smoke
It’s the only thing we build that doesn’t break
It’s the only kind of love that doesn’t fade
In the fitful sound of the polarized
They would count those waves from a shore
Lay above like cold on the lake at night
It would wake and sneak through your door
It’s the only thing we build that doesn’t break
It’s the only love that doesn’t grow and fade
Ooo, nothing should heal this way
Ooo, burn it today
That fight won’t fade
And it’s awful how
That line degrades
On account of fits from the other side
I would count those waves on a boat
Fool around, unfit for the other’s eyes
As the fates all filled up with smoke
It’s the only thing we build that doesn’t break
It’s the only kind of love that doesn’t fade
In the fitful sound of the polarized
They would count those waves from a shore
Lay above like cold on the lake at night
It would wake and sneak through your door
It’s the only thing we build that doesn’t break
It’s the only love that doesn’t grow and fade
Ooo, nothing should heal this way
Ooo, burn it today

Brake Light Red Tide
by Field Reportsupported by 11 fans who also own “Quiet Your Arms”
one of my favorites this year, and i'm crossing my fingers it gets a physical release. chris porterfield remains one of the best lyricists, writing songs that conjure up emotions that feel so tangible. his form of storytelling is like sitting down with someone and having a conversation; everything is laid out right in front of you, ready to be picked up.

This is a unique sound for the area, and I can get behind that any day.

Field Report Live — The Back Room at Colectivo
by Field Reportsupported by 7 fans who also own “Quiet Your Arms”
I fell for your sound, and the fact that you recorded this live. I'm about to record a couple of "small albums", one in Norwegian, one in English (about people and things I have experienced on my many travels in Ireland), and your album inspires me to buy myself a good stereomic and do it -more or less- live. I didn't get every word of your lyrics on my phone, but they seem to be something I can relate to, and I'll study them more carefully after downloading the album on my laptop. Good luck!
