lyrics
You sat alone, poor Gila
You were surrounded
Your fallow face floated
Aloft in the valley
Throw all the weight off
Been shackled so long
Spoke to you today,
In silence my Gila
I fucked the past
I threw it all away
Performed the feeling
A silent symphony
So tired of running away
I wanna come home
Throw myself in your arms,
Dear Gila
Throw the weight off
Been shackled so long
Since it all happened it’s been
Such a long slog
Hold my head up high
So waterlogged
Throw the weight off
Been shackled so long
For so long
For so long
For so long
You were surrounded
Your fallow face floated
Aloft in the valley
Throw all the weight off
Been shackled so long
Spoke to you today,
In silence my Gila
I fucked the past
I threw it all away
Performed the feeling
A silent symphony
So tired of running away
I wanna come home
Throw myself in your arms,
Dear Gila
Throw the weight off
Been shackled so long
Since it all happened it’s been
Such a long slog
Hold my head up high
So waterlogged
Throw the weight off
Been shackled so long
For so long
For so long
For so long

Outro Northampton, Massachusetts
Outro makes new music – tight, wandering, melodic, out there; soaring, rough, harmonizing, thoughtful – in a warren of drywalled rehearsal rooms in an old mill building in Western MA. Is it Murmur with a post-punk edge? Is it now rock for the angry ones? Is it angled, or cycled, or… what? ... more
