lyrics
Red, red wine
Stains the fabric of my life
Pink and white
Like vessels bursting in my eyes
I hear the thunder roll
In the distance just to get ignored
I right the rest in jest
Sipping solutions that haven’t been made clear yet
I pushed it down, I drank to the sound
Until I drowned
And under the water I’m thinking
“If I’m always gone there’s nothing missing”
Green as glass
She floats to the surface above the rest
From a house of friends
To an obsidian goal post that never ends
Trying to make it in those bands
Waiting for someone to understand
Memory whittles her
Into something unrecognizable
I pushed it down
Stains the fabric of my life
Pink and white
Like vessels bursting in my eyes
I hear the thunder roll
In the distance just to get ignored
I right the rest in jest
Sipping solutions that haven’t been made clear yet
I pushed it down, I drank to the sound
Until I drowned
And under the water I’m thinking
“If I’m always gone there’s nothing missing”
Green as glass
She floats to the surface above the rest
From a house of friends
To an obsidian goal post that never ends
Trying to make it in those bands
Waiting for someone to understand
Memory whittles her
Into something unrecognizable
I pushed it down

무너지기 (Crumbling)
by 공중도둑 (Mid-Air Thief)makes me miss early era dirty projectors. the production is so fun and light; it'll leave you smiling front to back.

I'd never heard of these guys before I saw them open for The Decemberists in Atlanta this past weekend, but I was hooked from those first driving notes of "Making Noise..." and by the time they were three songs in, I weirdly had one foot in 1993 again with the other squarely here in 2024. This album is everything you want it to be, with some bonuses. Hard to pick an actual favorite track, but "The Window" does make me choke up a little bit, and "It's Alive!" is a consistent earworm.
