lyrics
Push it hard ‘til it splinters;
let me know when it hurts,
find a line to make it work
It's doubt and you can't sleep
when it's around—
just gotta hear that sound, so familiar,
cause it means everything to me
What's it worth if it's hollow?
Just find another way to go
Make it right but not for show
Cause it's out that I can't
breathe when you’re around;
just wanna hear that sound, so familiar
cause it means everything to me
Don't rely on it—I’m still fine for it
It's just this heart of mine's feeling helpless
and I can't just let it be
Wanna take a ride with me?
I'll tell you what it's like, darlin’
thinking all the time about how
you went and set me free
It's a rush that you can't explain,
but it'll find a way
to seep in until it stays—
it stings in little ways,
but you can cut it out
Just gotta hear that sound, so familiar
cause it means everything
I'll see you in my dreams
but I don't know if i can sleep
Sometimes I realize it's been
gone so long
It's like a loss of light, an ebbing tide,
the eddies they go crazy
churning, swirling
let me know when it hurts,
find a line to make it work
It's doubt and you can't sleep
when it's around—
just gotta hear that sound, so familiar,
cause it means everything to me
What's it worth if it's hollow?
Just find another way to go
Make it right but not for show
Cause it's out that I can't
breathe when you’re around;
just wanna hear that sound, so familiar
cause it means everything to me
Don't rely on it—I’m still fine for it
It's just this heart of mine's feeling helpless
and I can't just let it be
Wanna take a ride with me?
I'll tell you what it's like, darlin’
thinking all the time about how
you went and set me free
It's a rush that you can't explain,
but it'll find a way
to seep in until it stays—
it stings in little ways,
but you can cut it out
Just gotta hear that sound, so familiar
cause it means everything
I'll see you in my dreams
but I don't know if i can sleep
Sometimes I realize it's been
gone so long
It's like a loss of light, an ebbing tide,
the eddies they go crazy
churning, swirling

When I heard this for the first time, it immediately reminded me of my childhood in the woods in Appalachia. Learning it was recorded there, well, it makes this a comfort record, a fall-asleep record, a record that reminds me why I want to keep this planet spinning. Thank you.

This is a beautiful, sonically stunning record and is the perfect antidote to the depressing, troubled times we find ourselves in. Knishkowy’s finest songs immersed in layers of stunning guitar work and stellar musicianship from all involved. Clearly made with love, and filled with it.
